Suppose there is something going on

in the universe which is to ordinary, everyday reality as our

unconcious is to our daily lives? Softly, but unmistakably

guiding it. Most of the time, we are unaware of it. Yet, every

now and then, on account of some ‘fluke,’ we are

startled by the results of its presence. We realize we have

been part of something with neither consciousness nor consent.

It is so sweet-and then it is gone. You say, ‘But I

don’t believe in God.’ And I ask, ‘What makes

you think it matters to God? ’
-from

Lawrence Kushner, whose previous books have

opened up new spiritual possibilities, now tells us stories

in a new literary form.

Through his everyday encounters with

family, friends, colleagues and strangers, Kushner takes us

deeply into our lives, finding flashes of spiritual insight in

the process. Such otherwise ordinary moments as fighting with

his children, shopping for bargain basement clothes, or just

watching a movie are revealed to be touchstones for the sacred.

This is a book where literature meets

spirituality, where the sacred meets the ordinary, and, above

all, where people of all faiths, all backgrounds can meet one

another and themselves. Kushner ties together the stories

of our lives into a roadmap showing how everything

ordinary is supercharged with meaning-if we

can just see it.
