Quote for Sunday, May 4, 2014
What healthy religion is saying
is that the real life is both now and later.
You have to taste the Real first of all now.
The constant pattern, however,
is that most Christians either move both backwards
(religion as nostalgia) or into the distant future
(religion as carrot on the stick)
and consistently avoid where everything really happens
and matters — the present moment.
~ Richard Rohr
