Joyful Faith

Don't try to interfere with destiny,

don't worry about failure and loss,

everything self-corrects in its own time.

It is all written in the Book of Life,

your own,

their own,

yours is yours

and theirs is theirs,

no need to boss people around

and stir up the dust of anxiety--

they will discover how and what to do

in the expanse of time.

Just reach out and encourage everyone,

and in so doing you yourself are encouraged.

Don't try to understand all the causes of events--

there is a higher intelligence at work here.

Be humble, relax, and trust in joyful faith

that the blueprint of existence

knows what it is doing

in this miracle-filled

School of Earth.
