Prayer: Awe and Gratitude
Discussion Actions
Brian Swimme quote from page 124:
“The primary prayer is one of awe, and it is probably the most effective prayer because through it we turn to our origins just behold with a sense of gratitude.”
What are you grateful for? I am grateful for
—- this moment in time
—- this “just right” earth: just the right distance from the sun, just the right axis tilt for seasons, just the right protective atmosphere
What gives you a sense of awe? I stand in awe of
—- that which pours energy up into life
—- that which enables our bodies to heal themselves
—- that which evolves the plants, animals, and all living things
Grateful for the madness and suffering of my youth which has transformed into the passion and purpose of my young adulthood.
Standing in awe of the mind-boggling fact that this big-banging Mystery of Life exists at all! :)
