The Rhythm of Prayer and the Rhythm of Life
In winter we seek our warmth, in summer, coolness. In sickness we search for a cure, in hunger for food, in thirst for water, in tumult for calm and tranquility, and in fear, for safety. When the wheels of life turn at an accelerated pace, which they most certainly do in this mechanistic, electronic age,and if our prayer is to be a refuge that prevents these wheels from crushing us between its sharp iron cogs, then it is only logical that the counterforce of prayer should offer the greatest possible degree of relaxation and serenity.
Rediscovering Prayer, Bassam Saeh, p. 23
إيقاع الصلاة وإيقاع الحياة
في الشتاء يبحث المرء عن الدفء وفي الصيف عن البرودة، وفي المرض عن الدواء، وفي الجوع عن الطعام، وفي العطش عن الماء، وفي الضجّة عن الهدوء، وفي الخوف عن الأمان... وإذا كانت عجلة الحياة متسارعة، بل هي أكثر ما تكون تسارعاً في هذا العصر الآلي والإلكتروني الساحق، وإذا كان لصَلاتنا أن تكون ملجأً لنا يحمينا من عجلة الحياة أن تدوسنا وتأكلنا بأسنانها الحديدية الصلبه، فبدهيّ أن تكون العجلة المضادة التي تقدمها لنا الصلاة أشدّ ما تكون استرخاءً وهدوءاً ودعةً واستسلاماً.ة
