I don't know exactly
what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention,
how to fall down into the grass,
how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed,
how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing
all day.

―Mary Oliver

~

don’t hit the fly—
he prays with his hands
and with his feet

―Issa Kobayashi
