I find that view of revelation very beautiful and I think that spirituality is about finding the divine in our ordinary lives. I believe in a church that finds revelation through seerstones and sunstones and cornerstones, and gold plates and divining rods, and in bread and water and ordinary olive oil, and sacred rooms in holy temples, and masonic rituals, and funny looking cotton-poly underwear, and white temple clothing with green aprons. I celebrate those very ordinary things because that’s what we use to reach the heavens and talk to God.
I really like this quote. It helps me have an appreciation and a reverence for all the “ordinary things” used by individuals and religions throughout the world. They are objects that take on symbolic meaning to help us commune with the Divine.

Yep.
I wish it wasn’t so.
