The Mystery

All of us live in relation to mystery, and becoming conscious of that relationship 

can be a beginning point for a spiritual practice — whether we experience mystery in nature, 

in ecstatic love, in the eyes of our children, our friends, the animals we love, 

or in more strange experiences of intuition, synchronicity, or prescience.

Prayer

Prayer is, for me, an intentional openness to 
the presence of mystery in my life.
Sometimes it is labor, sometimes ecstatic surprise. 
Sometimes both.
