DIARY | thinking abt prayer

[aspiratorium]

i've been thinking abt prayer recently cuz i've been praying a little bit here and there, i've been trying to figure out how it fits into my life and how it could be helpful.

firstly, it's a reminder right? prayers can b like touchpoints throughout ur day to remind u of the vital thing tht ur faith gives u, which for me is knowledge of reality as it stands and also moral clarity.

secondly, at least the way i've been using prayer, it can kind of b a way to experiment w ur orientation in reality. pray abt something u feel like ur doing wrong, pray toward a different way of being, see if it brings u closer to it by just putting the impetus at the front of ur mind. see if the gravity of all tht is can just bring u closer to where u wish to b by virtue of u acknowledging and leaning into said gravity. see if tht can give u answers u seek throughout the day. thts wat im experimenting w when i pray anywayz.

ok happy new years, i spent this new years w some friends online watching riverdale it was fun :3
