Sometimes praying the Psalms feels like just one more form of textual analysis. So, to introduce variety into my practice of praying the hours (at 9am, noon, 3pm, and 6pm), I have begun to take a slow walk around the church building -- or around the block, depending on where I am when my cell phone alarm rings, announcing that it is time to keep the Divine Office. For now, as I pause for a slow walk every three hours -- instead of following a Psalter or breviary -- I am paying attention to Nature, which has been called "The other sacred book."
