"What is spiritual about the manifest is not the part that leaves tracks in the snow." Mary Oliver

All day long we are bombarded with images and information and feelings. There is so much trivia attached to the essential parts of life isn't there? If we could just get at life without all the hindrances and entanglements, it would be so much easier, so less complicated. Once in a while though, the sticky parts fall away. A moment arrives out of the trillions in our day and it is different. We are arrested out of the mundane and into something more. Suddenly, what we see or feel intensifies our awareness of being alive. Right there, that wondering pause? that place between our bodies and the world? That's why we are here.
