a prayer by Mother Theresa

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.. May you be content knowing you are a child of God....
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

a line passing through our heart

It was only when I lay there on rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human
heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil.

time

Time is danger! The moment we look to time to change, it is really a continuation of what has been. Me, the desire, continues through time. So-called religious authorities say that time is a means of mutation. But actually mutation is not possible through time. It happens by a benediction of blast, which is again not an experience! Change is a movement in non-movement of time! Change implies a state of consciousness that is not moving from one ''I'' to another ''I''.
