the very first prayer from the cell: “midst”

This, I believe, was my very first prayer from the cell, posted on March 10, 2007. I can’t believe how long ago that was. It certainly doesn’t seem so.

I’m sorry I haven’t written much this last week. I feel as though I’m being dragged along the bottom of a deep sea by some invisible force towards the inevitable. I’m confident it is all good, but it isn’t without its terrors. And relative silence seems to be the appropriate response, for speaking while holding your breath does not seem to go well together.
