The Power of Ritual

We've been taught to see the world as divided between the sacred and profane, the religious and the secular. We've been taught that there's someone a line that makes a church building sacred and a supermarket secular. That vertical line is an invention. Imagine a a horizontal line between the shallow and the deep. It stretches across every place and every person. When we can sink below the blur of habit, we can be present to that portion of our experience where we find deepest meaning.
