I got this on the World Prayer site last night. Thought it was worth copying here:

When I am liberated by silence,
when I am no longer involved
in the measurement of life, but in the living of it,
I can discover a form of prayer in which
there is effectively no distraction.
My whole life becomes a prayer.
My whole silence is full of prayer.
The world of silence in which I am immersed
contributes to my prayer.

I had a really quiet day today--exceptionally still. Awoke to the thunderous downpouring of rain. Quiet and still, still and quiet. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Today was a breakthrough day. One of the best that I've had in over a year. Did nothing that differently except chanting as I walked. But did not experience the symptoms like usual--they were abated, in the background, and the cognitive load was really light.

Read last night, but not too late. Slept well, especially with the sounds of the rain on the roof. Managed to slip between the storms to get in a walk. I feel like I've turned a corner. May it be so! May it be, may it be!

Awaken to thoughts from the fun part of my brain and go from there.
