The Buddhism of Sylvia Boorstein inspires me to trust life. She wrote:
“Terrible things do happen. I do believe that fully mindful prayer, undistracted presence establishes the capacity of the mind to see clearly, and when necessary to surrender gracefully.”

“…that it is possible for the mind to be at ease whatever the circumstance.”

“…the capacity of the mind to manage even very challenging situations gracefully.”

“…inclined the mind to the insight that everything is manageable, absolutely everything.”

Thus my prayer has been as inspired by Rabbi Balfour Brickner. I pray to access my finer self, deal with my emotions, access a deeper understanding of the situation and reach out for a solution.
M. Tamura wrote that the answers are already in me.
