“Prayer is a reaching, and every act of prayer stretches the soul. Prayer is spiritual exercise. There are many ways to pray, as there are many ways to God. … The way of the beginner is not the way of the master. Yet there is no atom of creation that does not have access to God. Each soul finds its way to Him at the level of his own experience.
“For some, prayer is thought; and for some, it is feeling too in articulate for thought to express. Communion with nature may be prayer, or the enjoyment of art and poetry and music. An act of kindness may be a prayer, a smile, a friendly hand. Work is often a prayer, for work is an affirmation of creative power. Praise is a kind of prayer. So is zeal.
“… There is a prayer that is words, and a prayer that is silence. … Much of prayer is speaking, yet much of it is listening. … For it is as we listen that God speaks. And it is when we are still that God acts.”
