A Writer's Prayer for Everyone

A friend sent this to me this week and told me it's a writer's prayer, but we agreed that it's actually just a really good recipe for a decent and intentional life:

The thought manifests as the word:
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit; and habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Amen
