your prayer must have a theme not like that…
Page 98 your prayer must have a theme not like that superman theme that you had at your bar mitzvah. A real theme, and it Hass to be about you.
— from The Air Traffic Controller (God)
In the book
Pray, but pray with a plan. Simply wishing you prayed better will never get you there, and feeling guilty about a wandering mind helps even less. Give the prayer a real theme, and let the theme be about you and your actual life. Do not make concentration itself the goal — that only guarantees you will not have it; let the words instead work the way a love-mantra is meant to, stirring genuine emotion rather than being recited as dry liturgy. — The Air Traffic Controller (God)
