I'd agree with that.

I've always remembered something someone said about Thomas Merton- that he brewed his early morning coffee like it was an act of prayer.

Spirituality isn't a specialized subject. It embraces everything we do. Maybe the things we think of as "spiritual"- like praying, meditating, thinking about "spiritual" things- are no more spiritual than anything else.

Sometimes I think religion is just a hobby- like stamp collecting. Some people are into it and others couldn't give a damn. Praying, making coffeee- it doesn't matter what we're doing- so long as we do it with attention.
