After davening recently- somehow I was in a really remarkable space and I just noticed how much of psalms are really beautiful and powerful poetry- something I actually hadn't paid a lot of attention to before. I mean, a particularly powerful phrase here and there would stick out, and the rest functions for me in many ways as a sort of guiding force for meditation of some variety. And this time just a lot more of my experience was wrapped up in the meaning, and it was really a dramatic difference. I'm glad it happened at a point where I wasn't rushing, and didn't have to skip parts or rush through- because I really lost myself in it, and I'm glad I had the chance to do that. It was just a lovely prayer experience and I felt like I had to write about it- even though this isn't really getting down the sensation of the experience at all.
