This morning, instead of strolling on the beach, I walked up to the lighthouse, giving tribute as I went to a friend who had recently died. You see, we used to talk about this particular spot that she loved.
I’d have to say that this really was a prayer walk. Thinking/praying for her, her family and friends. In fact, sometimes it feels that life is just one big prayer, and certainly we can experience it as such. Pray without ceasing; think prayerful without ceasing; live prayerfully without ceasing. It takes practice, but, believe me, it’s easy and worthwhile. I say the Jesus Prayer, Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me. When you find your mind is chattering trivia (How many times to I have to go over the evening’s menu?), give it a try.
