Instructions
Anonymous author; rearranged and transcribed by pollinikrys

One day I asked God for instructions on how to live on this earth.
God brought his voice close to my ear and said:

Be like the sun,
Arise early, and do not go to bed late.

Be like the moon,
Shine in the darkness, but submit to the greater light.

Be like the birds,
Eat, sing, drink, and fly.

Be like the faithful dogs,
But only to your Lord.

Be like the fruit,
Beautiful the outside and healthy inside.

Be like the day,
Arrive and leave without boasting.

Be like the oasis,
Give your water to the thirsty simply for free.

Be like the firefly,
Though small, it casts its light with all it can.

Be like the water,
Good and transparent.

Be like the river,
Always moving forward.

Be like the voilet,
Tramped over, yet still leave the frangrance on the heel.

And above all things: be like the heavens,
Prepare yourself as a home for God.

Lord, don't let me remain where I am.
Help me reach where you want me to be.
