Sundays

We tend in our Western culture to compartmentalize religion and spirituality.  Christians go to church on Sunday for instance, but outside that time, life is controlled by secular culture.  We tend not to see the spiritual in the ordinary of each day, the repeat tasks.  Some other cultures resist Western ways in part because they do not want to lose the sense of the spiritual in the ordinary.  Recovery programs in the West know that it is a 24hour process.  You don’t do a couple meetings a week but otherwise don’t practice the principles the rest of the day.  I try to keep this in mind when I am going about my day so that I don’t try to escape into my electronic world.
