I hope that you are able to get out in the world today and wonder at it and everything in it.
“Like the cosmic dust following after a great Perseid meteor, we are the living remnants of time and all that has come to pass in its wake—briefly shining lights on the way to eternity. We are only visible to the naked eye for an instant. Take this moment to shine like the start dust you are. May the light of our time on earth shine to bless the world and each other. Shine. Shine. Shine.” by Mary Edes

This poem by Barbara J. Pescan and this article by Rosemary Ellen Guiley take a look at prayer from different perspectives. As you thoughtfully read them today, focus on two questions: “What does prayer mean to you?” and “How do you pray?”
