Walked along this river. It reminded me of how nature finds a way and maybe we can. We all experience situations that are difficult. That seem impossible to get around. Maybe we can see them as only a small part of all that waits for us. We experience, learn and move with all parts of this ever changing life. Can you find appreciation for not just the comfortable but also the difficult?

Pray?

(For Tamsa, who asks good questions)

People have a lot of ideas about prayer. And that makes sense. Because when we pray, there are a lot of different things going on – usually all at the same time.

I have a good winter coat. The rain rolls off, and it keeps me warm.

The other day when it was raining, I needed to take the trash out. The rain was coming down softly, so I didn’t bother to grab my coat.

I wasn’t outside for very long. But it was long enough for me start complaining about being cold and wet.

As if I wasn’t the reason why I was cold and wet.

Later that day, I needed to go outside again. This time, I thought to put on my coat.

I didn’t notice that the rain had picked up from before. Until I came back in and saw how wet my coat was.

The difference between the two hit me while I was hanging up my coat to dry.

The first time I was cold and wet (and whiny). The second time the rain was coming down harder, but I barely noticed it. The difference? The coat.

Wearing the coat didn’t change the rain. It changed how I experienced the rain.

It’s like that with prayer.

I don’t mean one-and-done prayer. That’s like putting on a coat and then taking it off.

Keep your coat on. Pray before you do things. Pray while you do things.

It can be as formal or informal as you like. The point is keeping close to God in an ongoing conversation. Just like you would with your closest friend (which He is).

Just you and God. Heart to heart. About anything and everything.

That kind of prayer doesn’t change the things that happen to us in life. It changes how we experience them.

“Life with God is not immunity from difficulties, but peace in difficulties.” – Arthur James Russell

(Of course, this isn’t all there is to prayer. When we pray, there are a lot of different things going on – usually all at the same time. I’ll be sharing more thoughts about prayer in the days to come.)

If I were to hide you in my heart, would you finally feel safe? Would you feel sheltered enough so that you can finally breathe and rest for as long as you like?

Problems are solved (difficulties eliminated), not a single problem... ‘But then we will never come to the end of our job!’ Of course not, because it has no end.

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Nachlass, MS 213

Me in my pirogue

can handle what this swamp brings,

wrestling gators

and other scuttling things

paddling through tight waters.

Grounding with nature always puts thinks in perspective. Difficulties we face can be met with a change of view. Enjoying the view and praying for those facing difficult times.

“It's not just me... I'm sure there are a lot of individual stories from fans. Everyone has their own difficulties, (but because of the moments) of happiness you seem to be able to persevere through life happily. Among those happiness, I hope that Super Junior and my existence helps you a little bit. When you come to the concert hall, you scream, laugh, talk, or watch me like this (with love) and we laugh together. That's happiness, right? When you try to find happiness, you become more anxious (...) Those who are wondering where your happiness is, it’s just next to you. I don't know how satisfied you are with your life right now or what (but) I think that happiness will gather in such moments & fill your lives with even a little more laughter"

Motion of Light Erin Hanson :: [h/t Guillaume Gris]

* * * *

"When you encounter difficulties, the feelings and stories that arise in reaction are just that, feelings and stories. They are whirlwinds of confusion, based not in what is happening now but in deeply held beliefs about you and your relationship to the world. Let them swirl- leaves in the wind. Sometimes you fall back into them and lose touch with the present, but a moment of recognition always comes. Right then, come back to your body, come back to your breath, and rest. The confusion, the stories and the feelings are still there. They continue to swirl, but you are not lost in them."

~ Ken McLeod, 'Reflections on Silver River, teachings on Tokmé Zongpo's 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva' (Ian Sanders)
