Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.
-- Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, author (1907-1972)
God of pilgrims, give us always a table to Stop at where we can Tell our story and Sing our song. --
Father John Giuliani (1932-), Benedictine Grange, West Redding, Connecticut
Thank heaven for this food and for this company. May it be good for us.
-- Greek prayer
May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness. May all beings be free from sorrow and the causes of sorrow. May all never be separated from the sacred happiness which is sorrowless. May all live in equanimity, without attachment or aversion, believing in the equality of all that lives.
-- Traditional Buddhist prayer
For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Unitarian minister, poet and essayist (1803-1882)
