A time to pray

Waking up and happy the welts on the skin are not as bad now but instead there's pain and a heating pad to help. As I have said, the only good thing about this kind of pain is how clearly it makes me focus on priorities in life. Be kind (to yourself, too) and compassionate. Appreciate small things. Healing is everything. Well it could be worse. Still, pain is so unfair and solitary. It's amazing how some people just don't get it, but they almost could have, and could they in the future, if they ever have the courage to value different viewpoints? Prayers can be to Jesus or to the universe, and they can be like chanting in another language, which I learned in yoga classes when I was younger, or like what Christan mystics of either sex have practiced for centuries...
