Prayer and Writing
Karen Hall of Disordered Affections fame urges we write about what we feel passionate about. Writing with passion removes self-consciousness, makes you forget the very act of writing. The words tumble out in forgetfulness like an orgasm makes you forget the physical act of sex.
I was reading a passage from Spiritual Combat Revisited and the author mentioned that if you are aware of the act of praying then you are essentially not praying because you are not focused on or conscious of God. The truth of Christ's words, "do not let your right hand know what your left hand is doing" marvelously encapsulates this truth.
