On a good day, writing.
Listening.
Listening feels like praying to me.
What about praying?
When I went to the Divinity School, I learned how to pray again.
Not because I had to, but because I wanted to.
And I got on my knees.
And what I learned was that praying wasn't about asking.
or even gratitude, but really listening.
And so I think the decade that I've spent at the Harvard Divinity School, I realize how much I don't know.
And in many ways, what I know isn't valued in the same way.
Because what I know are the names of birds.
Because that's what I cared about when I was young.
And I still do.
And the birds to me are the links to everything else.
Whether it's women's voice, whether it's ecological health, or whether it's looking upward at a night sky of stars.
Birds.
But I think prayer to me is about listening.
Listening...
to voices beyond ourselves, listening to the voices within ourselves, and I do think it's plural, and listening to one's deepest questions that no one else can answer, except for by living an authentic life.
