I don't know why so many good quotes come from atheists, like this one from Abraham Maslow:
"The
great lesson from the true mystics . . . is that the sacred is in the
ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's
neighbors, friends, and family, in one's back yard."
I
like this, but I do think it might be limited (the quote is the extent
of my familiarity with Maslow.) I would say that the ordinary is
sacred, because God makes it that way. To recognize the sacred in the
ordinary and not attribute it to the Father, would be severely
misleading.
Here's another quote I pulled from "The Power of Pause," which I think is insightful:
"Over a century ago, John Ruskin wrote: 'Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.'"
Sit with that one awhile.
(Lent is a great time to consider purging some of your stuff. You will find it very freeing.)
After all, what are you waiting for?
