Dear Friends,
“In the sunlight of awareness, everything becomes sacred” wrote Thich Nhat Hanh, venerable and contemporary Vietnamese Buddhist Monk. Typically the last thing our egos want to see is the sacred, especially in the “ordinary” yet it is also the very first thing our Spirit not only wants to see but is fully equipped to see. For so many of us, our spiritual quest is about that moment, that big day when, as my colleague, Dennis Merritt Jones writes, “we will arrive at that point where our life is an extraordinary spiritual experience, full of meaning, whole and complete in every way.” What we ultimately find is that instead of “someday” arriving at that grand moment, the sacred is all around us now. We simply need to be willing to seek and realize it. My lesson title this Sunday is “Seeking the Sacred in the Ordinary.” Through mindfulness, we can perpetually walk with the key that unlocks that “door.” Come and let’s explore this important mind/heart set together.
Peace and Blessings,
Rev. Steve
