Also, I walk and hike in several different nearby parks near our home several early mornings a week.

I have glaucoma, so use eye drops both morning and night.

Seriously, however, I learn a lot about my physical life in the aging and changing of my body.

I feel that I communicate best when I am not deliberately being linear. Along this same line, I feel some of the best sermons I've ever heard were in the theatre rather than the pulpit - as, for example, in the Theatre of the Absurd.

I find in the Psalms much the same range of mood and expression as I perceive within my own life of prayer.

I believe that God prays in us and through us, whether we are praying or not (and whether we believe in God or not). So, any prayer on my part is a conscious response to what God is already doing in my life.

Our essential differences from the norm are both huge and deeply offensive to those among us who wish to be quietly integrated into society without particular reference to our nature.
