To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable,
and wealthy, not rich;
to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages
with open heart;
to study hard;
to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently,
await occasions, hurry never;
in a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common-
this is my symphony.
~

Slow me down, Lord
Slow me down, Lord.
Ease the pounding of my heart
by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my pace with a vision
of the eternal reach of time.
Give me, amidst the confusion of my day,
the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and muscles
with the soothing music
of the singing streams that live in my
memory.
Help me to know the magic restoring power of sleep.
Teach me the art of making minute vacations...
of slowing down to look at a flower;
to chat with a friend;
to pat a dog;
to read a few lines from a good book.
Remind me each day of the fable of the hare and the tortoise -
that the race is not always to the swift;
that there is more to life than increasing its speed.
Let me look upward into the branches of the towering oak
and know that it grew great and strong
because it grew slowly and well.
Slow me down, Lord,
and inspire me to send my roots deep
into the soil of life's enduring values
that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny
