Let Nothing Upset You, acrylic and ink, 18 X 24, watercolor paper, Lex Leonard

Let Nothing Upset You

Let nothing upset you.
Let nothing frighten you.
Everything is changing.
Love alone is changeless.
Patience attains the goal.
They who love lack nothing.
Love alone fills every need.

…St. Teresa of Avila

Author’s Note:

This is a prayer I use in my Passage Meditation. It is a practice of Eknath Esawaran and the Blue Mountain Center for Meditation. Please excuse the updating of the prayer to more inclusiveness for me.
