Prayer

Now, I'm not religious by any means, nor have I been interested in learning about different philosophies for a long time. (Shame I know, I need to pick up on Buddhism again..) 


But here is a different kind of prayer: It's called the Gestalt Prayer  - a delicate 56 word statement by psychoterhapist Fritz Perls used as part of his therapy. Without further adue: 





I do my thing and you do your thing.

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.
