You Reap What You Sow

[Lord Bwyra]

Where there is hatred within, train your mind to sow love.
Where there is injury, sow pardon.
Where there is doubt, sow faith.
Where there is despair, sow hope.
Where there is darkness, sow light.
and where there is sadness, sow joy.

Do not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
or to be loved as to love.

For it's in giving that we receive,
it's in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it's by letting go of the concept of a separate "self"
that we are born to eternal life.

- the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
