I’m listening to a book by Julia Cameron entitled, “Seeking Wisdom”, which reveals how her circle of friends and she talk to God. If you’re not familiar with Julia’s writing she describes God as Good, Orderly, Direction and each of us relate to God, or a higher power, in our own way, but it made me smile to read this post by Mag’s.

Mags and I talk to God in similar fashion about every little thing. When I was a child, I would see what I considered, ‘old people’, walking around outside, muttering to themselves. Now that I’m considered one of them, someone would probably think the same if they saw me in my backyard, but today I wonder if they were talking to God? I’ve been told the prayers of our ancestors are still being answered in due time.

This morning, I woke up early, but dozed back off to reawaken at 8:00 am. I was disappointed for not getting out of bed the first time because my morning time wasn’t mine much longer. There was a meeting to attend at 9:00 am, and I missed going for a walk at 7:00 am, so I rolled out of bed grumpy. They expected me to talk at the meeting and I was only 2 sips into my mushroom brew, so I wasn’t focused.

After the meeting was over, I stepped into the kitchen and stood at the sink to gaze out the window. It felt like my morning was a wreck and it was time to reset. I saw the tiny clay house that I use when burning incense and lit a cone to nestle it inside. I remembered what Julia has said in her book about asking God for help and one of the things she emphasized was asking for help when she was in a grumpy mood.

Still standing at my kitchen sink, underneath my breath, Julia’s words fell out of my mouth, “Dear God…Help me with my mood!”

I restarted the electric kettle to make a cup of coffee and switched on the radio to realize I was standing in this song. My call for help with my mood was a whisper underneath my breath, but an army showed up and my mood lifted. Whisper the words, “Help me’, and form a complete sentence with where help is needed. That my lovelies, is a complete prayer.
