Orison

You, along with many others, are so hungry but too distracted to address the problem directly. When you become of age to entertain your peculiar desires, it is likely you also take your first steps into your inner world.

Once here, and if you mirror mainstream strategy, your game-plan is to treat prayer like a business deal. You ask for something and expect it to be granted. When this method proves to be weak, you rage like the angriest fire, which in return, further dissolves your energy.

An alternative Orison is one with an Eastern undertone: Let me take deep joy and delight in the pleasures of life and I asked to be spared of unnecessary suffering, but above all, “Thy will be done.”

This is the path of Equanimity.
