QUOTE : All of my life has been a relearning to pray- a letting go of incantational magic, petition, and the vain repetition “Me, Lord, Me,” instead watching attentively for the light that burns at the center of every star, every cell, every living creature, every human heart. Learning to pray, then, as I understand it, is learning to listen with the mind and heart- making oneself attentive to each exquisite detail of the world.
