A Hymn to Life

With your strength
I live,
with your strength,
I walk,
with your strength,
I rise
for love
alone.

With your strength,
I go,
with your strength,
I stand,
with your strength,
I see,
the signs
of the times.

With your strength,
I create,
with your strength,
I draw,
with your strength,
I see even
the light in the
deepest darkness.

With your strength,
I grow,
with your strength,
I expect,
every day
a new miracle,
that you give
to my body.

With your strength,
I rise up,
with your strength,
I let
things
take their course,
when the
signs of the times,
show it so.

With your strength,
I live,
with your strength,
I rise,
when you are gone,
I ascend
to heaven
above.

With your strength,
I shine,
with your strength,
I preserve,
the essence of
life
in my
being.

Life as a Gift

Life is a great gift, and perhaps we should truly appreciate it.

Every morning when we wake up healthy, able to open our eyes and well-rested – it is a blessing. We cannot help but be grateful every day for this. That’s why it’s so important that we recognize ourselves: from a bird’s eye view, but also our deepest interior. Because that means we value life when we begin to see ourselves from a bird’s eye perspective and also discover our inner light. Then we are also grateful for life because we see what abundance each of us actually carries within.

That’s why it’s so important that the first place of worship is always oneself.

Self-Knowledge Without Narcissism

It’s not about developing narcissistic traits. It’s simply about being grateful that you’re on this planet. And first recognizing that you are also part of this planet and this universe – and that you carry everything within you.

My religion is love, my place of worship is humanity.
