Part 2: Routine, Ritual, and Liturgy
When life is a hustle and we have too much traction, or when life is stuck and we don’t seem to have any traction, we need an equalizer. We crave equilibrium. The balanced weight we need is found in knowing the veil between us and “What takes up where we leave off”. The Lord is extraordinarily close. Moment to moment, we are invited to slow down or gear up for what waits as our highest blessing. Entrance into the Abundant Kingdom of God ...now. Not later...now. Daily practices, rituals, and ceremony are our initiative toward the Lord. They are a sacrifice of our focus, presence and time. They are an offering. One of the most change-making things about routine and ritual is that it bypasses our linear cognitive mind and side steps past our rational mind so that we can enter another realm. If only for a few minutes, what would it be like to be more in tune with what is unseen than what is seen? (Hebrews 11:1) Trish Harrison Warren
