I pray before I lift, I meditate while I lift, I offer my gratitude-cries and gratitude-smiles

August 6

```

My Absolute Lord Supreme,

I am praying to You

To stop forgiving and protecting

My mind's huge ego-balloon.

I am praying to You

To fully illumine and completely perfect

My purified heart's confidence-sky.
