if approached with intention, such states can indeed be forms of prayer: deep, open attentiveness to the present moment, in which our own egos are emptied out so we have room to be filled with the divine.

Work is an essential part of the human vocation, part of what it means to be incarnated with material needs in a material world.

Simplicity is when we roll up our sleeves with and for others in a great community of needful belonging.
