"the ordinary events of daily life become our practice...the routine of daily life is the path to holiness for lay folks"-Father Thomas Keating - Open Mind, Open Heart
So often we search for holiness outside of ourselves - in some sacred place, in ritual, in worship, in a person or in a denomination. Can it really be so basic that the path to holiness is the repeated routine of my every day life - the waking, stretching, journaling, reading, eating, working, gardening, emailing, blogging, idling, sleeping routine of every single day? If so, then every day, every breath, every movement is sacred.
