I did not mean to pray I was only thinking about the softness of the rain and the warmth of this blanket and the mercy of the morning. I did not mean to pray. I was only thinking about my friend’s cousin and someone in the hospital and a few headlines from yesterday’s news. I did not mean to pray I was only thinking that things are getting better but a lot still needs help. I did not mean to pray. I was only thinking about the rain, and the world, and the Wednesday ahead of me. Until I realized, that all this thinking was going somewhere, that these drifting thoughts inside my head, felt gathered up by someone else. I think that maybe in all my thinking God found a prayer. So it turns out, this rainy Wednesday morning, I prayed. Amen.
