Building Cathedrals

“May I be at peace, May my heart remain open, May I awaken to the light of my own true nature, May I be healed, May I be a source of healing for all beings.”― Joan Borysenko, Pocketful of Miracles

“There is an old story about three masons who are laying bricks. A man walks up to them and asks them each the same question: “What are you doing?” The first mason spits on the ground and looks up. “I’m laying bricks. What in hell does it look like I’m doing?” The second mason groans and mops his brow. “I’m earning a living.” The third mason looks up with light in his eyes and says, “I’m building a cathedral.” Who do you think feels most refreshed at the end of the day?”― Joan Borysenko, Pocketful of Miracles

“Let me be open to all possibilities, living the full circle of my life in gratitude no matter when that circle is complete.”― Joan Borysenko, Pocketful of Miracles
