Pick up your head
look around
take it all in
the sun’s warmth
on your brow
the autumn breeze
across your cheeks
the quiet whisper
of all that is
all that you have forgotten
this is the new prayer posture
this is the new prostration
your head has been down too long
your gaze has lost its luster
God wants to see your face
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
How does adopting a new prayer posture by embracing the world around us deepen our relationship with God and invigorate our spiritual lives?
