Prayer of the Unknown Confederate Soldier

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy;
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for but everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among men, most richly blessed.

At the end of the U.S. Civil War, this prayer was found folded in the pocket of a

Confederate Soldier.

The Sculptor

I took a piece of plastic clay

And idly fashioned it one day,

And as my fingers pressed it, still

It bent and yielded to my will.

I came again, when days were pressed,

The bit of clay was hard at last.

The form I gave it, still it bore,

But I could change that form no more.

I took a piece of living clay

And gently formed it, day by day

And molded with my power and art

A young child's soft and yielding heart.

I came again when years were gone,

It was a man I looked upon.

He still that early impress bore,

And I could change it, nevermore.

Never Give Up !

The Mountains In Autumn
There Are So Much Fallen Leaves,
And i Was Looking For my Beloved One
But I Cannot Find The Path,

In my Dreams
Ceaselessly Along Dream Paths,
Without Resting my Legs
i Searchin` U,
But In The Real World,
A Single Glimpse,
Is Different.

Waking Up In The Morning
The Wind Feel`s So Cold
my Heart Is Empty, Without You
But Knowing That You Happy,
Makes me Feel Glad

W T H ? !

Make Someone Say Thank`s
Make Someone Think Thank`s
But It`s Very Hard Sometimes. . .

When i Feel Alone, i`ll Sing
When i Feel Sad, i`ll Play My Guitar
When i Feel Sorry, i`ll Made Something. . .

Try To Praise Him In This Storm, But It`s Very Very Hard
Just Who Am i That The Lord Of The Earth Would Care To Know my Name ?

The Way To Be Followed Alone
Accept everything just the way it is.
Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.
Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling.
Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.
Be detached from desire your whole life long.
Do not regret what you have done.
Never be jealous.
Never let yourself be saddened by a separation.
Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others.
Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.
In all things have no preferences.
Be indifferent to where you live.
Do not pursue the taste of good food.
Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need.
Do not act following customary beliefs.
Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful.
Do not fear death.
Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.
Respect God without counting on their help.
You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honour.
Never stray from the Way.
