O Mother of Medicine
Creator of all,
Please give me the strength
Never to fall.

And if by some chance
My feet start to stumble,
Grant me the courage
To stand tall yet be humble.

So instill in Your great gift
This body of mine,
A reawakened spirit
A soul so sublime.

Bring to my being
Hands, head and heart,
Your precious love-flow
To make a new start.

Moisten these parched lips
Never to be thirsty,
Brighten my eyes
To finally truly see.

Pave my path a smooth one
Yet just enough challenging,
Sturdy my steps
To reach my meant destiny.

And may I find fulfilment
In all that I do,
To live with pure joy
And continue serving You.

So heal all who are weak
Help those in need,
Fix all that’s broken
In thought, speech and deed.

To learn from our errors
And have no regrets,
For by overcoming them
We become better yet.

And through transforming
Our darkness into light,
We’ll fully reveal
Redemption in our lives.

Yesh Ḥayyim (There is Life)

When darkness envelops me
And I don’t have the strength to carry on,
And negative thoughts are streaming,
And I am left senseless.

Then I suddenly remember
That I have a dear familiar companion,
So I lift my eyes to Him,
to heaven, and I call out:

Creator, please show me how
I can go straight forward,
And to accurately reach that place
Where life and all is perfect.

How to open my mind and heart
So that I can accept myself,
And to share all that I possess
With the whole world with abundant ease.

If there is life then I am alive,
If there is fire then I am a flame,
If there is a sun then I will shine,
If there is beauty then I will blossom.

If there is water then I will flow,
If there is air then I will breathe,
If there are voices then I will not be silent
Until we all live in peace.

Creator, I bow to you
For the good and also the bad,
And the mission that you gave me
I will fulfil with joy.

And I will live to be an example
Of pure light and holiness,
And to spread positive energy
Until peace will be everlasting.

If there is life…
If there is water…
