Busy day, work once again demanding and this is not a bad thing. No time for blog. No deep thought, a quick entry based on the thought of work being prayer, losing one’s self in activity, in heart and mind staying focused upon God: faith, hope, and charity subtly dominating. From someplace pleasing, from the past, I thought of a prayer technique within the Romanian Orthodox Church’s rich monastic tradition. Toaca is a method of losing one’s self in practiced perfection, audibly and physically stilling the mind. What a unique meditative way of calling out to God.  The practice always quiets me.
