Praying and Meditation

Praying means to actually speak.  Meditation means you are listening.  Some people do an awful lot of talking and forget to listen.  Others do a lot of listening but forget they have a voice to be heard.  Open your mouths people and speak to whomever you wish to hear you.  Human, Diety, the Cosmos, whomever, just use your voice.

At work today I had sent a request to one of our vendors.   He got back to me apologizing for not being able to fulfill my request due to his son recently going ‘back into’ pediatric ICU.  Can you imagine that?  This poor man worrying about the state of his young sons condition is trying to piece together his normality by keeping up with the 9-5 work flow in between bed visits.  No profession in the world needs tending except for the parental one you took on when your kids were born.

So in your daily meditation AND prayer today, keep in mind this young child and send him some good thoughts.  Send his dad some as well, we could all use the extra good joo joo at the end of the day.
