Metta Prayer

I am doing my best to be a good human. Sometimes two steps forward is followed by one step back. When this happens, I remind myself that I am progressing each day. I take comfort in knowing that I can step back onto the right path.

This Metta Prayer seems like a good thing to say when I falter.

"May all beings be well and safe, may they be at ease.
Whatever living beings there may be, whether moving or standing still, without exception, whether large, great, middling, or small, whether tiny or substantial, whether seen or unseen, whether living near or far, born or unborn; may all beings be happy.

Let none deceive or despise another anywhere. Let none wish harm to another, in anger or in hate."

I found another quick one, much like it:

May we be filled with loving kindness.
May we be well.
May we be peaceful and at ease.
May we be happy.
