“There is such a thing as praying, which is very deep, but Rebbe Nachman says this is not the deepest depths of closeness to G-d.  The deepest depths of closeness to G-d is when you can tell G-d your story.  Rebbe Nachman would tell G-d stories all the time.  He would tell Him, ‘Listen G-d, this morning I woke up at five o’clock…’ and he would tell Him everything he did.  A story.” ~ R’ Shlomo Carlebach zt”l
