Planning V Praying

Prayer's positive potential is not as substitute for planning. Prayer might be a prelude to planning, and might be an appropriate postlude to fully implemented plans, whether psalm of gratitude or requiem of remorse depending on healthy and pathological outcomes. Even better, some gratitude and humble remorse, held together, demonstrating we have learned something from our nondual co-arising trial and error and yet continue improving our further therapeutic refinements. But, whether my life plans are what happened while Earth continuously revolved in other distressing directions, or I continue learning to plan somewhat more cooperatively and multiculturally and inductively and deductively co-arising togetherly more than separately, prayer is the active planner's co-redemptive bookend, Alpha and Omega double-binding points of reorientation, not my personal How to Save the World book, much less exegetically seminal scripture. Prayer is my yeasty bread and liturgical garnish, but not the red meat of ego/ecologically balanced regenerative planning.
