When,
"Our thoughts and
prayers are
with you."
becomes the
end and
not the
means,
we have lost
our
spiritual momentum.
Too often,
we see prayer
as a request
for God
to move, so
we don't have to.
The core of
prayer is
a shifting
of hearts;
primarily
our own.
We speak our
angst,
cry our
frustration,
groan the
unspeakable;
and in the
stillness between
syllables,
tears, and breaths,
a different
note vibrates.
Maybe it's a
new note,
perhaps a
dissonant one;
but, always,
it calls us
toward the
circle.
Whatever
else we imagine
it to be,
prayer is a request
for
inclusion in the sacred journey.
If you're
willing to move,
but don't
know where or how,
let your
heart speak.
The rest is
not up to you,
but you will
likely
find
yourself up to it.
