More on prayer

Reading beyond the subject line is daunting, isn't it. But, I am so revolutionized by one sort of prayer as prayer being waiting, a new idea idea for me, that the discovery of a nun-in-the-world, drinking beer, writing a blog, as in the interview in yesterday's paper, seemed intriguing. So I went there. And looked at prayer. And clicked the link. And found goal-oriented prayer. So I left.

And I went to Kathleen Norris' Amazing Grace, chapter, Prayer. And I was reassured that religion and spirituality are not always the same thing. Which is why lots of people, me included, are turned off by Anne Lamott's religious stuff--she mixes the two up hopelessly. When she writes about writing, she is centered. When she's off being religious, she's all over the place.

But I digress.
