The Wisdom of Heschel
To pray is to take notice of the wonder, to regain a sense of the mystery that animates all beings, the divine margin in all attainments. Prayer is our humble answer to the inconceivable surprise of living. It is all we can offer in return for the mystery by which we live.
– Abraham Joshua Heschel

Thank you, Keith. I have a great love for poppies. When the season arrives and they start to bloom, I can’t help but smile when I see them. They are such happy flowers. The beauty of life and our participation in it is such mystery. I’m glad you enjoyed the photo and the quote!
