Living in the present moment can be difficult in challenging times, but prayers and poems shine light on the path and guide the way.
Prayers and poetry help people connect with each other and with the Divine. They help us feel less alone in the world. They lift us up when we’re down. They hold us when we’re scared. Poems may lead us to laugh, cry, think, and wonder. They inspire and educate as well as entertain. There is wisdom and love to be found in the writing and words of other people. And there is profound comfort in the words of our favorite prayers. Prayers and poetry are spiritual gifts that help us live fully in the present.
