I'm always thinking about creating. 

My future starts when I wake up 

in the morning and see the light.

Be A Beacon Of Light, A Shelter Of Peace, Be Present To Others

Enveloped in Your Light, may I be a beacon to those in search of

Light. Sheltered in Your Peace, may I offer shelter to those in

need of peace. Embraced by Your Presence, so may I be present

to others.

To the dull mind all nature is leaden.
To the illumined mind
the whole world burns and sparkles with light.

Mother To Son

Well, Son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor –
Bare.

But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.

So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
‘Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now –
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
~ Langston Hughes

Create Peace Within & Harmony With Nature & Social

Shower Thy grace upon us in the moment of our greatest need,
protect us from ourselves, and allow us to be a beacon of light
rather than a dark cloud for the ambiance that surrounds us.

Only with Thy aid can we create that peace within and harmony
with the outer environment, both nature and social,
for which our souls yearn.
~ Seyyed Hossein Nasr
