“When I am fully alert to whatever or whoever
is right in front of me;
when I am electrically aware of
the tremendous gift of being alive;
when I am able to give myself wholly
to the moment I am in, then I am in prayer.
Prayer is happening,
and it is not necessarily something I am doing.
God is happening,
and I am lucky enough to know that I am in The Midst.”
-Barbara Brown Taylor, An Altar in the World
