Deliver me from the isolation of the Self, for surely this is the essence of imprisonment.
Clever and calculating, I fall back into the prison of self.
When I am willful and overbearing, I am not loved, at best I am only needed.
The fetters of this reasoning binds me, but through the insight of this, I can be free.

Self Assured
Oh Lord, let me recognize my imperfections
so I may abide with them, neither rejecting such things
nor seeing them as existing.
It is through my defects that I gain insight,
it is through the confession of my inadequacies that I become
humble and receptive.
The day is good, and so is the night. Darkness
teaches me many things about the light, and a new dawn
is self-assured.
