The Drifting Prayer

A Prayer for the Lunch Hour

The Drifting Prayer is an eyes-open prayer for the in-between hours: a lunch break, the walk home, a free afternoon. It asks for no quiet room and no special state of mind. You stay in the ordinary waking world and simply stop steering it for a while.

The full guide, with the seven movements, gentle reminders and a worked example, lives on Spiritual Break.
