God is Happening




“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
