Dear God,
Open my eyes to the beauty of this day.
The yellow of an egg yolk in a blue bowl.
The scent of bacon frying in the pan.
The soft caress of the morning breeze.
The sound of children at play.
Awaken my senses.
Let me see, hear, and feel the beauty around me.
And be aware of the presence of the Great Artist in my everyday world.
—William Webber

Cher Dieu,
Ouvre mes yeux sur la beaute de ce jour.
Le jaune du jaune d'oeuf dans un bol bleu.
L'odeur du lard entrain de frire dans la poele.
La douce caresse de la brise matinale.
Les bruits des jeux d'enfants.
Reveille mes sens.
Laisse-moi voir, entendre, et sentir la beaute autour de moi.
Et avoir conscience de la presence du Grand Artiste dans mon monde quotidien.

Dieu,
Ouvrez mes yeux a la beaute d'aujourd'hui.
La jaune d'oeuf dans un bol bleu.
L'odeur des lardons dans le poele.
Le vent doux matinale qui me caresse.
Le bruit des enfants en train de jouer.
Reveillez mes sens.
Laisser moi voir, entendre, et sentir la beaute tout autour.
Et d'etre conscient de la presence du Grand Artiste dans le monde de tous les jours.
