Praying

Some people have a hard time praying. They say that the noise, the daily grind, the worries make it difficult for them to do so. I am trying to find a mix that would work for me. I know that for some they need a special place and stance to pray. Since I do believe in finding God in all things, prayer can be injected in everything we do. I find myself praying the formula prayers I was thought in grade school. I would have a round of Hail Mary's, Our Father's and Glory Be' as I wash my hair. I remember having a long commute from home to school and vv. I usually say a prayer while in the bus or the jeep. I also know some who walk around clutching their rosary beads. Prayer can indeed be done anywhere at anytime. I wonder what other mundane tasks can be injected with prayer.

weaving a dream

It has always been my dream to write...anything will do from stories to actual novels. I have never had the patience to sit down and finish one, though. I seem to have a problem with ending them. Closure, I suppose, is really among my issues(sigh...in paper and in real life experiences). There are times when stories seem to be nagging me. They seem to be playing in my mind out of a simple impetus from my student's experience to something that I see like the pen on the floor or something as random. I wonder if I have enough creative juices or energy to put these stories on paper. Or better still will the writing muse come and save me?
