Quotes from Wild Comfort:
"If the universe is an unfolding bud, then I am a part of its creative surge, along with the flowing of water and the growing of pines. I can find a kind of camaraderie in this universe, once I recover from the astonishment of it." (p. 147)
"Even if we don't believe in God, we walk out the door on a sacred morning and lift our eyes to the sacred rain and are called to remember our sacred obligations of care and celebration." (p. 151)
The part I love is the last line - "our sacred obligations of care and celebration." At every moment it is our responsibility to look and to see, to feel and to know that this "every-day reality" is a mystery and a miracle to behold. The most mundane of all actions - a single breath - is a miracle of creation, a miracle of life. Oh, to pay such attention, to be so aware and appreciative, to live and walk through our lives and our days in such a state!
