Simple

 Just because something is simple does not make it easy.  Prayer is simple as in meditation.  Just stop talking and listening to outside voices.  Don’t pay attention to your mind full of stuff.  But that is not easy.  We don’t like being with ourself, alone.  We like the company of noise, chatter, mind on a rush of thoughts and images.  I tell myself, that if I cannot be with myself then why should anyone else want to be with myself.  It ends up that many people who are restless, discontent, and irritable, are also quite lonely.  They cannot even stand their own company.  They often end up finding some addiction as their escape when no one else is around to fill them up.  But can you really be filled up when the interior abyss is so deep?
