Here's a poem from 2008 envisioning the awakening that is prayer:
Dance With Me
And this is what I saw—
Leviathan leaping, full length, in radiant delight, up from the dark depths of Mystery.
The night sky, clear; the moon full, casting its silver light across the whale-fractured sea.
And then she crashes, full length. A million silver shards dancing their holy glee.
As she disappears again into the dark, silent depths, to soak in Thee.
Why then pray like some dead fish in this, God’s sea?
Dance, fly, play, plunge. That’s what prayer is meant to be.
