I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down

how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.

It has been the best-kept secret down through the ages because it is so simple. Truly, the last place it would ever occur to most of us to find the sacred would be in the commonplace of our everyday lives and all about us in nature and in simple things.
