Marked in the margin of Kathleen Norris reader's digest on Benedictine spirituality, Amazing Grace, about 15 years ago, and now revisited on a whim:
Every atom in our bodies was once inside a star.....
It was a presence not a faith, which drew Moses to the burning bush. And what happened there was a revelation, not a seminar.
A praising of God is what laughter is, because it lets a human being be human.
The response to poetry is like dropping a rose petal into the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
Perhaps the greatest blessing that religious inheritance can bestow is an open mind, one that can listen without judging.
