It's a fine comparison between the importance of our physical needs as well as spiritual. I really liked your comparison of prayer times with meal times.

This is something I needed. As someone who is new to Orthodoxy, I have struggled with the liturgical prayers of the Church. I suppose it has something to do with my Protestant background and the incessant need to remind people that repetitious prayers were dangerous. Your post cast a whole new light on this issue. First of all, I never thought of the prayers as a spiritual discipline. I know, stupid, but really, it never occurred to me. Also, you hit the nail on the head when you explained their relationship to our natural body rhythm. It makes so much sense. I don't know why I didn't see it before. Thank you for this. I think you have another person that will be praying the hours with you (BTW, I'll share the results with ya). :hug: Seth Wow. This is something I needed.
