““The desire for moments of transcendence and the work of bringing them into our experience—this is the heart of all religion, really. But, there is a freeness in how we practice it. There’s no book to give us all the answers, no one teacher to feed us the truth. Instead, it falls to us to be aware of “I”—to be aware of ourselves being aware of the world around us, to embrace our experiences, to lift up the ones that move us beyond the ordinary, that humble us and hold us in awe, and to share them with one another. What greater gift could we give each other than to sit down together, carve out this time, and share those rare and wonderful moments of transcendence?””
