Every thought of healing is a prayer. So I keep my mind centered on the presence of God. My very thoughts enliven me. Thought by thought, prayer by prayer, I become stronger and healthier. As a divine creation, I am a holy and whole being.

One way to speak of the Christian story is to say that God is always doing something more. Incomprehensible holy mystery is always giving more, revealing more, communicating more. The only limit to that giving has been creation’s capacity to receive.
— Judy Cannato, Field of Compassion, p. 98

Let me seek, then, the gift of silence, and poverty, and solitude, where everything I touch is turned into prayer: where the sky is my prayer, the birds are my prayers, the wind in the trees is my prayer, for God is all in all.
— Thomas Merton

The soul’s center is God. When it has reached God with all the capacity of its being and the strength of its operation and inclination, it will have attained to its final and deepest center in God, it will know, love and enjoy God with all its might.
— John of the Cross

We are one, grounded in the 13.7-billion-year history of the universe. We have evolved as species and as individuals to this moment in time, a moment in which we are asked to engage not only the whales but the new powers that are ours. This is a moment of resurrection, and as we begin to live this new consciousness day after day after day, the whole world will be transformed. That is not a matter of thinking too much of ourselves, but a matter of accepting who we are in God and who God is in us.
— Judy Cannato, Field of Compassion, p. 191

Up into the cherry tree
who should climb but little me?
I held the trunk with both my hands
and looked abroad on foreign lands.
I saw the next-door garden lie,
adorned with flowers before my eye,
and many pleasant places more
that I had never seen before.
I saw the dimpling river pass
and be the sky’s blue looking glass;
the dusty roads go up and down
with people trampling into town.
If I could find a higher tree
farther and farther I should see,
to where the grown-up river slips
into the sea among the ships,
to where the roads on either hand
lead onward into fairyland,
where all the children dine at five,
and all the playthings come alive.
— Robert Louis Stevenson, “Foreign Lands” in A Child’s Garden of Verses

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique. And if you block it,
it will never exist through any other
medium and it will be lost…
— Martha Graham, dancer/choreographer
