Dog Psalm #22

My Friend Buddha said:

"The thought manifests as the word;

The word manifests as the deed;

The deed develops into habit;

and habit hardens into character.

So watch the thought and its ways with care,

And let it spring from love

Born out of concern for all beings."

This I try to practice every day, again and again

with an abundance of self forgiveness 

for my many frailties and failings.

This is how I make my peace.
