Daily Wisdom
When we meditate we are entering into a form of prayer that the early Christians call pure prayer, pure because it purifies the heart of images and desires and fears and all the complexity associated with those things.
What is pure is simple.
We talk about something being "pure and simple". So, when we meditate, we are not speaking to God, we are not thinking about God in a complicated way, we are not bringing our problems to God's door and pinning them up on God's notice-board and dramatising our relationship with God asking for these problems to be solved for us.
