For me, prayer is a spiritual thing not a religious thing. Prayer, to me, is simply tapping into the collective consciousness --and for me God, our Creator, is at the center of this consciousness-- with a concerted interest in furthering a greater good. It's really not that complicated. Still the noise, open your heart and mind and begin a conversation. I think that you would truly be surprised at how easily the words and thoughts begin to flow ... Give it a try. In times like these, what have you got to lose?
Peace & Much Love,

P.S. I am praying intently for the families of Newtown, Connecticut. May God, our Creator, Bless them --each one-- as they lay their loved ones to rest and strive to return to some form of 'normal' in their lives. I was literally disconnected from this earthly world last Thursday and Friday. It wasn't until Monday and Tuesday of this week that I became fully aware of this tragedy and began to process it in my own heart and mind. I wrote a poem in the aftermath of the Aurora Movie Theater tragedy that speaks of the resillience of the human spirit and the seeds of hope. I think this poem provides words of peace, comfort and hope in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook School shooting as well. Just now recovery from surgery myself, so I have been out of touch and sorts ... thus, I will just provide a link back to this poem instead of making a separate post: http://whatplanetareyoulivingon.blogspot.com/2012/07/another-unnecessary-act-of-violence.html
