To pray is to enter
into a humble receptivity.
It’s to realize the familiar self’s
inability to deeply know.
Most fundamentally,
to pray is to open to wisdom
that’s available
to come to the heart
in a time of readiness.
This is not
the emotion-saturated heart
cramped by desire or need,
but the open one
that’s receptive to truth,
painful or otherwise.
