THRIVAL (Part 3): In The Marketplace | Jake Haber & Carl Swart

Join us as Jake and Carl have a conversation about what it means to integrate our spirituality into our ordinary lives - including our careers and obligations. What does it look like to be "in the moment" if it's not a moment we particularly prefer?

 

Zen Proverb:

“Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.”

 

Tish Harrison Warren: 

“In the creation story, God entered chaos and made order and beauty. In making my bed I reflected that creative act in the tiniest, most ordinary way. In my small chaos, I made small order.”

 

Thich Nhat Han:

“If while washing dishes, we think only of the cup of tea that awaits us, thus hurrying to get the dishes out of the way as if they were a nuisance, then we are not ‘washing the dishes to wash the dishes.’ What’s more, we are not alive during the time we are washing the dishes. In fact we are completely incapable of realizing the miracle of life while standing at the sink.”
