Sundown, last night.
Looking down, over the sea fog, and Ailsa Craig, and the Firth of Clyde. Distillery at the coast.

Prayer
Some days, although we cannot pray, a prayer
utters itself. So, a woman will lift
her head from the sieve of her hands and stare
at the minims sung by a tree, a sudden gift.
Some nights, although we are faithless, the truth
enters our hearts, that small familiar pain;
then a man will stand stock-still, hearing his youth
in the distant Latin chanting of a train.
Pray for us now. Grade 1 piano scales
console the lodger looking out across
a Midlands town. Then dusk, and someone calls
a child's name as though they named their loss.
Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer -
Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre.

The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.

The Eyes Of The Witnesses - Prayers For Ukraine by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)
A people left to their fate with only the hope in the arms of a new generation that only wanted to live in freedom... the whole world could do much more... it is the world's conscience in the face of barbarism that is at stake!

"La preghiera non è un ozioso passatempo per vecchie signore. Propriamente compresa e applicata, è lo strumento d’azione più potente."
"Prayer is not a lazy pastime for old ladies. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action."
MAHATMA GANDHI
This image I am posting is a macro taken in Costa Rica of a praying mantis. As a child they always fascinated me and I was thrilled to have had the opportunity of seeing the beautiful species of praying mantis that makes his home in Costa Rica.
Wishing you a great and blessed evening !!!!!!!!!!!!!

had the wonderful fortune of a mantis in my bedroom all day today. We had several conversations.. and she spent some time in meditation with buddha.
Please say a prayer for our Little Bungee this day as we have decided to go ahead with another operation in an attempt to help him have a chance at a normal life.
As of this juncture, he is dizzy, can't walk straight and refuses food and water.
His surgery will attempt to remove a growth causing this unfortunate physical symptom interfering with his life.
He is still very young so perhaps he will be able to overcome this infirmary.
Thank you all in advance for your prayer and thoughts.
