바흐 / 안나 막달레나를 위한 노트 2권 - 미뉴엣 G단조 BWV Anh.II 115

Rembrandt - Old Woman in Prayer 1629-1630
기도는 인간에게 주어진 마지막 자산이다
사람의 이성과 지성을 가지고도 어떻게 할수 없을때 기도가 우리를 도와준다.
기도는 무엇을 요구하는 것이 아니라 그저 간절한 소망이다
따라서 기도에는 목소리가 아닌 진실한 마음이 담겨야한다
진실이 담기지 않은 말은 그 울림이 없기때문이다.
누구나 자기 존재의 근원을 찾고자 하는 사람은
먼저 간절한 마음으로 기도를 해야 한다

William Bouguereau - The Vow 1867
진정한 기도는 종교적인 의식이나 형식이 필요 없다
오로지 간절한 마음만 있으면 된다
순간순간 간절한 소망을 담은 진지한 기도가
당신의 영혼을 다스려 줄것이다

Anna Ancher (1859-1935) - Evening Prayer
그리고 기도에 필요한 것은 침묵이다
말은 생각을 일으키고 정신을 흩뜨려 놓는다.
우주의 언어인 거룩한 그 침묵은 안과 밖이 하나가 되게 한다
어느 인도의 스승은 말하고 있다.
사람의 몸에 음식이 필요하듯 우리의 영혼에는 기도가 필요하다
기도는 하루를 여는 아침의 열쇠이고
하루를 마감하는 저녁의 빗장이다
법정스님
