She spends a portion of each day just being quiet. She said she learned to let go of herself when she handed someone a leaflet. Then whatever their reaction, whether they agree, get angry or worst of all ignore you, you have to let it go. Prayer is like that, too. You have to let yourself go.
Prayer is a spontaneous habit.
Recently, when she heard a radio broa dcast of a serious traffic accident near home and heard the sirens, she began praying for the people. She says the years of picketing changed her. Sometimes, often enough that it is part of the pattern, her day is rearranged. She helps a neighbor who has no car and needs groceries and quarters for the coin laundry. She works with a public administrator on the estate of a neighbor who died without a will.
