"When I cease searching and striving,

I am always surprised to discover

the density and meaningfulness,

almost radiance, that ordinary 

things and actions have."

Sam Keen (Notes of a Spiritual traveler)

"There is no language of the holy.

The sacred lies in the ordinary."

Deng Ming-Dao

Do not be like a fish asking

bubbles and waves where to find water

The Heart is clearly shining in plain view

sparkling fresh like the morning dew

Dis-cover in the ordinary

the beauty of the extraordinary

Behind all things the timeless face of beauty sings

The nakedness of emptiness is covering all

Unity is singing in this silent call

no matter how the waves

rise and fall
