THE GENTLE ART OF BLESSING by PIERRE PRADERVAND

This is a great book

I dare you to read it

It might change your life

My favorite passage is on Page 61

As you walk

Bless the city in which you live

Its government and teachers

Its nurses and street sweepers

Its children and bankers

Its priests and prostitutes

The minute anyone expresses the least aggression or unkindness to you

Respond with a blessing

Bless them totally

Sincerely

Joyfully

For such blessings are a shield

That protects them from the ignorance

Of their misdeeds

And deflects the arrow that was aimed at you
