Make Love and Chop Potatoes

 
​                                           What is the essence of prayer?

Prayer is the silent bow of Universe and Soul to the One Mystery who dwells in the secret "within" of everyone and everything...

Prayer is making love... prayer is chopping potatoes... prayer is intentional community... prayer is the activation of compassion... prayer is a life of radical solidarity with all beings who suffer... prayer is the practice of equality and justice... prayer is reverence for nature... prayer is organic, wild, and fully natural... prayer is the intention for the true, humble, good, kind, and beautiful...

Prayer is naked: nothing but skin between you and your lover...

Prayer is a festival of grand desires...

Prayer is service learning...

Prayer is social justice...

Prayer is a symphony and a garage band...

Prayer is the release of attachments and the conscious cultivation of liberation...

Prayer is forgetfulness and surrender and remembrance...

Prayer is laughter and the will to harmlessness...

Prayer is the inability to pass judgment...

Of course, prayer is Woman-Birthing-Life... the Beginning... and the Renewal...
​and the Last Word: awe... awe... awe...
