As you know by now, I'm a big fan! I appreciate this week's blog about Thoughts and Prayers. #1 - it validated my sense of call right now, which I need. After 35 or more years of being an "out there" activist, my energy is moving in another direction. I feel a little insecure about this shift; a little guilty because this contemplative thing is so much more counter-cultural than I've ever been. I feel supported by you and others who recognize the reality behind putting positive (as I define it) energy out there are resistance to the evil. #2 - I like your presentation about the prayer. I love to preach on it using lots of paraphrases from all over the world. Similar to what you're saying about the folks who offer empty platitudes of "thoughts and prayers," I think it's important to say familiar prayers with depth of commitment and not just quickly by rote without really actually praying. #3 - I think you're probably right, that trees know more about prayer than we can ever hope to. Rocks too!
