Whoa Quan, so wonderful.
About 15 years ago I was in a meditation group with a zen monk and, before starting mediation, we would have a long exchange each time on a different question. That day the subject was prayer. I was saying I am not really praying, because in my head at that time ‘praying;’ was more of the saying a fixed prayer, before I realized we were talking of something else, then that lovely monk said, no prayers go unanswered, with that little wonderfully quiet and kind smile he had.
Here is to you Quan.
