liked this added take on the serenity prayer.
what's 'beyond exegesis'? wisdom that isn't just from studying books?
googled the serenity prayer, it has more words. Then I'll try to add.
Living one day at a time; (be in the now)
Enjoying one moment at a time; (find joy now)
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; (learn from bad times)
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
(?? don't presume to control the universe from ego)
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
(?? go into oneness consciousness to be with Life to feel everything is cool)
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
(?? then my ego will have a cool ride while having oneness be primary)
Amen.
