I once met a Hindu priest whose eyes twinkled and whose smile betrayed a deep-rooted joy for life. He told me that the divine is everywhere – we just don’t always remember to notice. There was a bell hanging nearby and someone rang it as part of worship. He said, “that ringing is always there, but we don’t hear it. It’s only when someone pulls the rope that the energy changes to sound and that sound travels to our ears and becomes a part of us. God is like that. And so it is our task to look for the rope to pull, to listen for the sound of the bell, the divine in everything.”
