“Let me not be Your critic, Lord, today, and judge against You. Let me
not attempt to interfere with Your creation, and distort it into sickly
forms. Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity, and thus
to let it be as You created it. For thus will I be able, too, to
recognize my Self as You created me. In Love was I created, and in Love
will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all things be
exactly as they are?”
Let not our sight be blasphemous today, nor let our ears attend to lying
tongues. Only reality is free of pain. Only reality is free of loss.
Only reality is wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today.
