Weekly Pause and Ponder

Francis of Assisi

knew that the finite manifests the infinite, and the physical is the doorway to the spiritual…. Heaven includes earth and earth includes heaven.  There are not sacred and profane things, places, and moments.  There are only sacred and desecrated things, places, and moments – and it is we alone who desecrate them by our lack of insight and reverence.  It is one sacred universe, and we are all a part of it.  In terms of a spiritual vision, we really cannot get any better or simpler than that.
