Why do I pray?
I pray because it comforts me at a time when I seem to have no control of the present nor the future, the only thing that seems clear is the past.
I prayed in the past, my prayer was answered yes.
I prayed in the past and it was not.
Why?
Are some of the requests we have in our prayers not heard?
It is so easy to say why pray when you don't seem to receive a response.
What I believe is that all prayers reach the destination you want but sometimes the help we ask for is given to someone that couldn't pray at all.
Its good to know that all prayers are heard and for that I give thanks.
As the ship gently rocks us into the Amalfi shores, the distant mountains seem to caress the sunrise beneath the sheets of morning light.
There is a silence in the air that is only broken by waves that are dancing onto shore. Suddenly, I see a symphony of golden rays piercing the mountains that appear to put a crown on the majestic sleeping silhouettes.
The liquid gold begins to flow over the outline of the awaking peaks and spills the warm golden honey like colors of the morning into the sea. The radiant shimmer of light doesn't stop there but extends it's welcome all the way to my heart.
Now l am ready to share the morning welcome with the one I love.
