--Simone Weil
"By ordinary actions and without attracting attention," that sounds like a recipe for spiritual formation, an effective, practical formula. Work which is done in this way has the virtue of humility. I'm far less likely to be deceived by the ordinary and lonely processes of life than those that are noticed or those that seem to be infused by the supernatural.
I find in this quote the courage to embrace difficulty and re-imagine it as "a favor granted to me," by the One who longs to set me free; the One who creatively uses the ordinary circumstances of my life to invite me into the great Freedom.
