I was surprised with the sentence: But those of us who fall on the more secular end of the spectrum might needa slightly more potent sanity-preservation tool than prayer. As a non-religious person I have come to find that prayer can indeed be very, very potent… I wonder how this sentence could be re-written so as to include BOTH the secular and spiritual among us… I thought it was an interesting and potentially useful article, but I fear it lost its impact for me because I kept thinking about how potent I do find prayer to be…. and how it seemed that there was a bent in the article against spirituality… I wondered if the article was not written for the somewhat crazed likes of me and Jack Kerouac.
