:))) Maureen, that is just beautiful.

Thank you for providing new perspectives in the
different forms of being with god.

When P. Yogananda writes that
"at times, pangs of longing for god came over me"
it is very clear to many of us what he means.
Only contemplative prayer / meditation can still
those pangs of longing.

Very beautiful, especially the last line.
I feel transition is the ultimate chance of turning
contemplative prayer into "reality".

Cannot all activities be done with the attitude of
contemplative prayer ? :)

Thanks for sharing. :)

Best regards,

Amanda.
