Our goal

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement . . .
    get up in the morning and look at the world
        in a way that takes nothing for granted.
Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible.
    Never treat life casually.
        To be spiritual is to be amazed.

                                Abraham Joshua Heschel

 

Note: Apologies for bad margins in the September 6 emails. You can read the whole poem here.
