Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time.
~ Shirley Chisholm
The workplace is as good a school for spirituality as a monastery. Our work, our homes, our neighborhoods, our public meeting places, our voting booths, our classrooms – all are conducive to the practice of spirituality. Our turf, our stuff, however cluttered and discombobulated, are holy ground. The ordinary hassles of daily living are rich soil in which to grow and bloom.
