Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language, or music without atmosphere.

I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine.

I was always spiritual, even as a child. I was taught to pray, show gratitude. We had an attitude of gratitude. Even if life was ugly, bad or sad - we prayed.

Religion is not theory - it is life. It is not intellectual conviction - it is divine humanity, and nothing else.
