“Amid The Noise”

And my lord God said to Michael, What have some of my
children become, go and give ministry in words they will all understand.

Michael;

Amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may
be in Silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with
all persons,

Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others
even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their own story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the
spirit.

If you compare yourself to others you may become vain and
bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself it is
the way.

Enjoy your achievements as well as plans; Keep interested in
your career however humble it may be or seem; it is a real possession in the changing
fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is
full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many
persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself especially do not feign affection. Neither is
cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is
perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years gracefully
surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden
misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born
of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with
yourself.

You are a child of this universe, no less than the trees and
the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,
there is no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to
be; and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy chaos, and confusion
of this life, keep peace with your soul. With all its shams, drudgery and
broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world and it’s only a very small
minority that makes it’s seem bad?
