"Pray ...
Somewhere in this world
Something good will happen."
Hafiz
If we no longer attend a church, our prayers may become requests for family or friends and tragic newspaper headliners. Instead of prayers memorized to memory, we may begin to loosely gather words together. As our concepts expand about everyone being connected, we might begin to include Mother Nature.
The definition of prayer stretches to include conversations with the spiritual world or practices with meditations and vision quests. There are concerns expressed regarding world turmoil, disease, and violence. Let us reach higher and project farther.
There is faith and trust that our prayers are heard, and quite frequently we are left not knowing if we have been helpful. In the midst of the broad spectrum of those offering prayers, there are growing numbers of groups and individuals sending out prayers as energy or light to intervene or assist anyone in need. When we are mindful, we can project kind thoughts to strangers: "Have an insightful day," or "May your loneliness be lifted". This is far more rewarding than casting judgments and not having any attachment to outcome.
