Speaker: Jeff Jarvis

I don’t know how many times I’ve done it. After looking for 10 minutes for something, I yell out to Cathy to help me find it. What’s really annoying is when she says, from upstairs, “It’s right there, Jeff!”. Here’s the thing, I’ve looked everywhere and I know it’s not right there.

But then she comes down and finds it almost right where she said it was. But not quite…because there was a piece of paper lying over it. So technically I was right. 😉

The spiritual journey can be a lot like this. Many will go searching for experiences of the divine – to connect to something deeper – something More, but in the end give up trying – thinking the sacred is nowhere to be found.

This Sunday I’m exploring another ancient Jewish ritual. Though the ritual in and of itself isn’t earth shattering, the concept that lies underneath it has helped our ancestors recognize the divine that is often “right there”.
