If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.
~ Jalal Al-Din Rumi
Existential prayer is one form of mystical contemplation. It is the prayer of just being. It has few words; and perhaps it has no images at all. In this prayer I just AM -- like the flower of the field or the birds of the air; and by just being I give glory to God.
