The Holy Ordinary: How Mystics Learned to Find God in a Cup of Tea, a Loaf of Bread, and the Sweep of a Broom

The Holy Ordinary: How Mystics Learned to Find God in a Cup of Tea, a Loaf of Bread, and the Sweep of a Broom

Across centuries and continents, the deepest contemplatives made a startling discovery: the sacred was not waiting at the mountaintop, but hidden inside the most unremarkable moments of daily life. In this episode, we trace the surprisingly radical idea of sanctified ordinariness — from the Zen kitchen monasteries of medieval Japan to Brother Lawrence among his pots and pans, from Sufi poets praising the act of pouring water to Indigenous traditions that make a ceremony of the morning fire — and we ask what it might mean to reclaim your own daily life as a kind of altar. If last week's episode found us standing at the threshold between night and day, this week we step all the way through the door and into the kitchen.
