Now I lay me down to sleep . . .

Have you ever thought about all the 
ways there are to pray?! 

We grew up as kids kneeling down by 
the bed and quoting Sidney D. Mitchell's 
sweet words. And not to forget, grace 
before every meal! Alas, I fear grace is 
usually saved now for the Thanksgiving 
family feasts.

For those of us who lean towards the 
spiritual rather than the religious, we 
find great comfort in meditation. For
me, it's all about sitting in solitude by
the fire and pondering the divine, both
within and without. In good weather, 
a walking meditation can be beneficial.
Those last few minutes before sleep
overcomes, are precious for a short
meditation.

I don't think of Asian meditation as
as prayer. Still, it is a beautiful thing.
We as a people tend to be larger and 
may find the sitting position and the 
OM to be foreign to us. I do hear
good things from those who have
achieved it.

Do enjoy your form of prayer and/or
meditation in the way it makes you
comfortable. This does truly help!

pray grant me the grace
meditation brings me peace
my answered prayer
