Fantastic Prayer

How I wish I could hear more prayers like this. Maybe I'll model my baby's blessing on something like this...

"May God bless you with discomfort: at easy answers, at half-truths, and superficial relationships - so that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger: at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace. May God bless you with tears to shed: for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy. And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done." - Franciscan Benediction

On an unrelated note, here's another quote I like:
"If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work; but, rather, teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea" Anonymous
