I used to pray by

When I was a child, the first thing I would do each morning, and the last thing each night, was kneel by my bed, close my eyes and pray the prayers I had been taught.

When I was an adult, I would sit on the floor, eyes half-closed, and watch my breath in zen meditation.

Now, eyes wide open, I watch the sunrise and the sunset, where everything is a prayer, everything is the breath
