Prayer is the highest form, the supreme act of the Creative Imagination. . . . For prayer is not a request for something: it is the expression of a mode of being, a means of existing and of causing to exist,. . . The organ of Prayer is the heart, the psychospiritual organ, with its concentration of energy, its himma. . . . Prayer is a "creator" of vision,. . . .

A criticism is just a really bad way of making a request. . . so just make the request.
The most influential of all the virtues are those which are the most in request for daily use. They wear the best, and last the longest.
The frequency of automobile accidents is declining in North Carolina, but the severity of accidents involving bodily injury is rising in the state. That's something we will keep our eyes on in preparing our request next February.
