“Prayer is not just words and asking; it is a state of being into which we enter. It can involve our behaviour and attitude, our thoughts and actions, our stillness, our struggle to cope after sorrow, our response to the beauty or suffering of living beings, as well as the many kinds of spiritual connections we have with the potent guidance that lies behind the manifest universe.

Prayer is the loom where we are woven, where we can reweave what has been broken, where we weave in what matters. Our prayer contributes to the greater weaving of the universe and nothing can remove us from its inclusion: it is a weaving that covers all of us with its cloak. Prayer is the needle that sews the edges of the worlds together.”
