Daily Prayer & Mindfulness

Every moment of every day invites us to pay attention.  We can marvel at what happens within ourselves and the world outside of us. Some of us do this through prayer, others through mindfulness and meditation. No matter what form it takes, noticing and appreciating the wonder of life enhances the act of living.
