A bit of an extended version of a talk, or sermon, that I shared today with some added sections that I did not use due to time limitations. I share many thoughts on prayer and end with a personal story about my mother’s best day and some Grosbeak birds as well.

At least a few times a week I walk around the north pond in Lincoln Park. Usually with my dog. I take my camera with me as there can tend to a lot of find wildlife for a downtown setting. This summer it has all changed.

Let it out. Tell the world how you feel. But do it with love.
