"Dust of Snow"
By Robert Frost

This morning
the beautiful white heron
was floating along above the water

and then into the sky of this
the one world
we all belong to

where everything
sooner or later
is a part of everything else

which thought made me feel
for a little while
quite beautiful myself.

~ 'Poem of the World' by Mary Oliver

I am returning to the Rossry. I find myself needing to modify the prayers so they ring true to who I am and what I believe today. I've tried on several different versions of Hail Mary, but none seemed to stick. This one is feeling good. I thought there might be others who can appreciate!

Hail Mary, full of grace
My heart is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb
Holy Mother-of-All, pray for us
That we may believe and receive
The magic of the rose

There’s a light inside you that’s always there, even on the hardest days. It’s that quiet, steady part of you that refuses to give up—the part that holds on when everything feels uncertain.
This light doesn’t need to be perfect or bright all the time; sometimes, it’s just a soft glow, but that’s enough. It’s enough to guide you forward, one small step at a time.
And here’s the beautiful thing: when you let your light shine, even a little, it can spark something in others. A kind word, a warm smile, a small gesture—it all matters more than you realize.
So, no matter how dark things might seem, trust the light inside you. It’s yours, and it’s powerful. Let it guide you, and let it remind others that they, too, carry their own light.

~The Wisdom of Bucky Fuller~

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

You cannot change how someone thinks, but you can give them a tool to use which will lead them to think differently.

We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.

If I ran a school, I'd give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots. I'd give the top grades to those who made a lot of mistakes and told me about them, and then told me what they learned from them.

A problem adequately stated is a problem well on its way to being solved. We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.

Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.

Nature is a totally efficient, self-regenerating system. IF we discover the laws that govern this system and live synergistically within them, sustainability will follow and humankind will be a success.

You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all you experience to highest advantage to others. Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.

It is not for me to change you. The question is, how can I be of service to you without diminishing your degrees of freedom?

The minute you begin to do what you really want to do, it's really a different kind of life."
