"It's sort of like blinking your eyes open. "Prayer is not about saying, 'Oh, I think I'm going to pray now.' Or, 'Oh, I see I've made a notation here to pray at 2:15.' It's about getting outside of your own self and hooking into something greater than that very, very limited part of our experience here - the ticker tape of thoughts and solutions, and trying to figure out who to blame. This is great.' Wow is the prayer of wonder." You say it when you see the fjords for the first time at dawn, or you say it when you first see the new baby, and you say, 'Wow. When I don't know what else to do I go outside, and I see the sky and the trees and a bird flies by, and my mouth drops open again with wonder at the just sheer beauty of creation. The prayer where we're finally speechless - which in my case is saying something.
