I know why people shy away from prayer:
it’s done within the head.
what’s done in the head, after all,
is weighted with much uncertainty and suspect.
think about it:
the distractions,
the impositions,
the crude intrusions,
the false starts,
the flush of emotions,
the bevy of baneful ideas,
the rethinking that has to get done all of the time.
is there any wonder to second guess it?
yet it’s here we’re taught:
to believe,
to talk,
to listen
to our Almighty,
the Creator of all things, and
it either is or isn’t true.
my head path is either:
one in the same with the maniacal or
one where
One truly provides
the Holy clarity that I lack.
