The God of Small Things
“There are random moments — tossing a salad, coming up the driveway to the house, ironing the seams flat on a quilt square, standing at the kitchen window and looking out at the delphiniums, hearing a burst of laughter from one of my children’s rooms — when I feel a wavelike rush of joy. This is my true religion: arbitrary moments of nearly painful happiness for a life I feel privileged to lead.”
— Elizabeth Berg -The Art of Mending

“You need not go to heaven to see God… nor need you speak loud as if he was far away, nor need you cry for wings like a dove so as to fly to Him, settle yourself in solitude and you will come upon God in yourself”.
~Saint Teresa of Avila

The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.

“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic — the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.”
— Charles de Lint
