One of the pieces of writing on my desk at the moment is a book on prayer. The book is essentially a plan for a day of retreat on learning to pray. Writing it has been an experience. I feel like the builder of this instrument, there is so much to say I keep adding 'functions' to my text. If I'm talking about postures of prayer, I should talk about St. Domenic, right? But then should I mention Tertullian or Ignatius or...
Pretty soon, I have marbles flowing everywhere. And look as wild-eyed as the designer of this instrument.
I'm on the downside of the writing at the moment, mostly taking text out rather than adding it in. But I can't help myself entirely, I just tucked in a bit from Bonhoeffer.
