I certainly resonate with this notion of writing, not so much about prayer, but as prayer. In 1958 (when I was about 5 months old) Thomas Merton wrote in his journal "To write is to think and to live — even to pray."
Questions on the table for discussion:
- What inspires you to put pen to paper and add a stamp?
- Have you ever carried on a sustained correspondence, either through email or on paper? or dreamed of doing it?
- Thomas Merton noted in a journal, "To write is to think and to live — even to pray." Do you find writing to be a way to pray?

For me writing seems to dig deeper than conversation. I journal and keep notes on books I'm reading and email and write letters and so on. Writing is prayer because there is only God and me and what I write is just between us - no one else will be reading it. Once I start writing, it just flows.
