O’ GREAT SPIRIT
help me always
to speak the truth quietly,
to listen with an open mind
when others speak,
and to remember the peace
that may be found in silence.

dive in

I lovingly let go and allow other beings the freedom to develop their personal power.
As long as we protect and lavish care and attention on others, they cannot develop their own abilities; they will not become truly able to cope with life. So be sure to only do as much for others as is truly [...]
