So beautiful! Prayer is something I have done as part of a daily morning practice for many years and I love the feeling of deep, sacred closeness that comes for me with this practice. And I've noticed over the last few years that sometimes for any number of reasons I will skip a day or miss offering a prayer. It is during those times that I more consciously sense the presence of prayer throughout the day...mostly in the form of gratitude or perhaps a blessing for sentient beings that seem to be in struggle or suffering. I've noticed that prayer grew and enlarged from a sacred connection between myself and something much greater than myself.....to a greater intimacy with all of life.
