May the door of my inner home be wide enough to receive those who hunger for kindness, those who are lonely, or isolated from friendship.

May it welcome those who have cares to unburden, thanks to express, hopes to nurture.

May the door of my heart be narrow enough to shut out pettiness and pride, envy and enmity.

May the door of my heart be closed to self righteousness, selfishness, and harshness.

May its threshold be no stumbling block to receiving those who are different than I am.

May my inner home be for all who enter, the doorway to spiritual richness and a more meaningful life.
