Let Us Pray

Every morning on my way to work I pass this row of sunflowers. They are majestic – easily eight feet tall, standing in a perfect line. As the summer has progressed into early fall the towering, seed-laden flowers have begun to bow, as if before their creator. Each day as I pass I whisper to myself, "Let us pray."

"The freshness of my eyes is given to me in prayer."

– attributed to the Prophet Muhammad
