Advice to myself.

Seek Silence for you have nothing more to prove aside from making noises like and empty drum. Seek Beauty as there is so much ugliness and discord in the world around you. Become a true seeker of Spiritual Enlightenment for nothing is worth finding that matters in the end. The journey may be long and winding full of holes and pitfalls, but get up, rebound and continue towards that which you seek, the goal is yours and yours alone; to attain liberation is to have lived life to the fullest. Good and bad, right and wrong are but a sickness of your own mind, become a healer of your own soul by right and complete understanding of who you truly are. Stop looking backwards too often and trudge on forward even when it all seems too bleak to comprehend. Never say die before your time is up, throw in the towel after it has been drenched by your blood sweat and Love with all your heart that you too will find Love in the hearts of others. Wake up! Stay awake and do not let them fool you.

In more than one way the world is spinning out of control, stay your course for no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, it is your way, your journey towards your destination. If you have to have Faith, have faith in who you are and become that which is truly your destiny; God will understand. If you have to be proud and defiant let it be because you have earned your birth right to be so; you have earned your Rights of Passage. Be humble and tread life with humility,walk with your eyes cast to the ground before you lest you step upon a sentient being crawling across your path. The eyes that likes to wander  is easily trapped by wonder and invites more baggage to be dealt with in the mind. Listen not to the discourse of others unless they are worth your while and merit attention. Politely retreat into your inner sanctum and allow for the external noises to die out without your attachment to them; these are just background music. Like a cork, float down the river bouncing off from rocks and debris but not getting lodged or stuck into any corner as you head towards the open sea; you are just another piece of Flotsam in this Ocean of Consciousness. 

Be kind to yourself before others will be kind to you, this is the law of the seeker of silence; all the mistakes and errors you have incurred are but grist for the mill of your own salvation. Look to no one and nothing for your own salvation, you are the master of your own ship, your own destiny; if there is anything worth believing, believe in this. Allow your heart to speak freely as it is the voice of the soul that speaks when the heart is pure and open, remain in silence if the heart has nothing to say. The Lord has given man two ears,  to listen more and speak less it is in silence that the heart  listens. 

Forgive me for my transgressions, correct me if I am wrong, help to see my way, lead me into the Light when I am lost in darkness; I am Your humble servant and I seek Your Divine Grace. This i ask of You on this Fasting day of the Month of Ramadan. Let my body feel the pain of hunger but allow for my soul to feel the gift of Salvation and Mercy. 
Amen!
