The thread has taken a metaphysical tack. I like it!
Jbee said; "It is expected that there just might be a possibility that just this once, the whole world will change for one small being, a proportionate speck that talks to God. Pondering that, I figure that when you pray for good weather, it probably won’t change the weather.
I sit and think a little further. It would seem possible, that with a prayer and turning that over, as I did today, one may get guidance through that day. It could seemingly be like parting the waters and getting clear skies, by being directed to the right place at the right time. Maybe, maybe not…."
One small speck may only have the influence of one small speck relative to the universe, but to the speck, that might be quite significant.
I agree that a "prayer" will not change something as significant as the weather, but focused energy certainly can do "stuff". I am confident you have experienced the wonders of energy raising ceremonies. Whether in a church or pagan gathering, something is certainly going on.
Your experiences in nature are certainly enhanced by your openness to them. Do you influence those enhancements? I think so, consciously.
If you desire a full and rewarding life, you should (must?) live with intent. Not simply accepting the weather around you, but embracing it in your journey.
Stay Safe, Stay Bare!
