About: Lenny Scovel

We see ourselves through each others eyes.  We learn of ourselves filtered through another person’s experiences.  We also know ourselves from our inner life, which is also a composite of all of our interactions.  We are very much made up of each other; we are inextricable from one another.  Yet we find it so easy… read more

Today is the day we will make, so may we make the most of it.  We are the Creators, and it is both our joy and our sacred obligation to make this the best of all possible worlds.  Let us begin with gentle stirrings and quiet incantations.  Breathe love into the world, that the air… read more

May we remember to share a kind word or a thoughtful action today.  May we hold each other in respect and care, as we would wish for ourselves.  May we recall kindness shared with us in our past despair, and how sustaining it was for us.  We have only ourselves and each other, one and… read more

Thanks and Gratitude are two different things: Gratitude is a process and a Way, thanks is immediate and specific.  Gratitude requires thanks, but not thanks alone.  Let us begin our practice of Gratitude with a prayer of Thanks: Thanks for friends, both old, new, and as yet unmet.

A simple prayer of Hope, as it is a precious resource.  Whether it is limitless has yet to be determined; that it can be in short supply is certain.  And yet, conservation may not be the solution.  Hope begets Hope, just as Love begets Love.  Certainty of outcomes gives way to Faith in the face… read more

May we be present enough to recognize our blessings, and humble enough to accept them.  May they foster in us infinite gratitude, and charge us to pay them forward.  Whether they be great or small, these blessings are Life – may we not ignore them.  For all this we give thanks.  Blessed Be, and Amen.… read more

Our prayers become repetitive as our practice deepens: this is because our lives are repetitive, as are our concerns.  We live on a vast, unfathomable continuum, a great cosmic wheel.  Our problems are never completely resolved – they are merely negotiated for a time.  This is not a regrettable state, however: it is simply big… read more

May our burdens be bearable today, as we continue on the journey of our lives.  There are many days when it feels as if the weight will finally grind us down.  These are the times for small steps and little blessings.  These are the times to look into the eyes of our friends.  These are… read more
