There are lives that experience seems to stream clearly through, - TopicsExpress



          

There are lives that experience seems to stream clearly through, rather than getting slowed and clogged up in the drift waste of ego or stagnating in little inlets of despair, envy, rage. It has to do with seizing and releasing as a single gesture. It has to do with ... owning an emptiness that, because you have claimed it, has become a source of light, wearing your wound that, like a ramshackle house on some high, exposed hill, sings with the hard wind that is steadily destroying it. --Christian Wiman in My Bright Abyss (In my imaginary world, this book of essays by poet Wiman is on the "required" list for anyone aspiring to forge some kind of unity between "thoughtful" and "spiritual" in daily life.)
