Spirituality: Macrina Wiederkehr from the "Radical Grace" newsletter by The Center for Action and Contemplation

We are naturally reverent beings, but much of our natural reverence has been torn away from us because we have been born into a world that hurries. There is no time to be reverent with the earth or with each other. We are all hurrying into progress. And for all our hurrying we lose sight of our true nature a little more each day.
