“The sage does not separate the sacred from the ordinary. They rinse the bowl as if it mattered. They fold the towel as if it were prayer. The ceremony isn’t over because the altar is gone. It continues in how you touch the day. Wash the dishes slowly. Feel the heat in the water. Notice the sound of soap against porcelain. This is presence. This is integration.” — G. Scott Graham
The sage does not separate the sacred
from the ordinary.
They rinse the bowl
as if it mattered.
They fold the towel
as if it were prayer.
The ceremony isn’t over
because the altar is gone.
It continues
in how you touch the day.
Wash the dishes slowly.
Feel the heat in the water.
Notice the sound of soap against porcelain.
This is presence.
This is integration.
