From prayer and presence to memories
Prayer and presence
How lovely to read Lesley Morris’s account (10 January) of god being no respecter of time or place! Don’t I know it! And, for that matter, just trying to articulate something of experience of ‘the presence’!
Lesley, you not alone: there are many of us and I’m another like you. And, like you, I just wish it were easier to talk about it and to find people with whom to talk about it. Today, in my spiritual direction session, I had the most vivid and intense experience of being taken by the hand, literally, by the presence; yet still I hesitated before I told my (Quaker) spiritual director!
Well done, Lesley! Lovely article! Thank you so much!

Lesley Morris’s piece about ‘her inner silence and the meaning of God’ sounds rather like ‘natural theology’ – ‘All is God and God is All’.
