Serenity
A Karachi Sunset
The original full version of the Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference;
Living one day at a time.
Enjoying one moment at a time.
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as he (the one we follow) did, this (imperfect) world as it is --
not as I would have it.
Trusting that He, Allah, the God of my understanding, will make all things right
as I surrender to His Will --
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Ameen, Amin, Amen, So Be It.

Shaidi and M. Rizwan Memon,
How I appreciate you coming by.
In all my responsibilities and activist-peace heart, I see how deeply I need such wisdom.
Glad you see the beauty of this prayer used in 12-step program circles internationally
