Prayer can’t be taken away. It can’t be given away. It can’t be thrown away. It’s always with us. One of its gifts is the dissipation of fear -- both within and without.
Whatever reduces fear is a prayer.

About me
- HK Stewart
- I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Prayer is on your mind! Or in your heart perhaps is a better way to express it. I've enjoyed these several posts about prayer. We often limit prayer to a more structured meaning that we have learned in a traditional Christian context. You are opening up the beauty of prayer in a way that recognizes its accessibility to and indeed its practice by everyone. Lovely.

Thanks for this. I really appreciate it.
As for all of the posts about prayer, they all started with a conversation I had with a friend of mine several months ago, but I'll get to that in yet another post.
Prayer is a topic I'm sure I'll come back to on a regular basis here, but I do think I'm nearing the end of this current flurry on it.
As always, thanks for reading and for writing. It's great to have you along for the ride.
