More Life

 We come to the end of another year.  You are still here.  Do you want a longer life or do you want more life?  There is a difference.  There are persons who may live quite a longer life than I will, but it might be filled with judgments, anger, resentments, divisiveness due to personality and so on.  “More” life, on the other hand, is to be present to the moment and what is in the moment, be it persons, things, or events.  We can be present or absent to the moment.  How do you want to live?  Prayer is being attentive to the moment, even to the Presence of the Divine.  Prayer is not getting someone else’s attention.  It is to get you to pay attention.  I hope 2024 is a time of more life in the moment that is given to me as gift.  Happy New Year!
