*Little Spencer heads out to summer camp this weekend. He's growing up fast. Children are so predictable in that way.
*I found a solution to my prayer problem: Now, when I feel overwhelmed by all of the goodness in my life, instead of praying to a God I don't believe in, I take a deep breath and hold it for a second. It actually seems to work better than prayer. I feel like I'm getting away with something when I take that big, deep breath. It makes me feel good.
And that's the point, right?
Nice photo. Keep breathing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Willie. Good advice.
ReplyDeleteI too feel the impulse now and then. Like you I pause and smile at myself. But it's a blessed relief to be rid of the baggage of bygone generations. At such times isn't it a wonder to stand naked before the universe as it really is? A complete and utter mystery. Unknowable, but beautiful and infinite in possibility.
ReplyDeleteWhen you put it that way, yeah, it is nice. The wonder is almost explosive.
