Breathe.
You are who you are.
Give yourself a mini sabbath.
Your life is not meant to be a spectacle, but theater.
God did not promise happiness, but disappointment.
Later, redemption.
Drink water.
Through the human hand,
the lilies of the field,
in vindication and defeat,
becomes Beauty.
When talking to God, use the inner voice in public.
When complaining to the priest, use a cartoon accent to underscore your seriousness.
Sometimes it’s not about you, but about them. They are doing the best they can.
It’s always about you.
Eat real food.
Go to parties.
Use the prayerbook.
Organizing, cleaning, and tidying, are also prayers.
Even in the mess, however, is the Trinity.
Lift a glass.
When the glass reaches your lips,
heartily express the pleasure of the first sip.
Throw yourself a little dance party.
You are not finished.
