“Whoever you are, you are human . Wherever you are, you live in the world, which is just waiting for you to notice the holiness in it.” ~Barbara Brown Taylor

“No one longs for what he or she already has, and yet the accumulated insight of those wise about the spiritual life suggests that the reason so many of us cannot see the red X that marks the spot is because we are standing on it. The treasure we seek requires no lengthy expedition, no expensive equipment, no superior aptitude or special company. All we lack is the willingness to imagine that we already have everything we need. The only thing missing is our consent to be where we are.”

[An Altar in the World, Barbara Brown Taylor]
