“At the center of our faith, material reality is imbued with spiritual significance and power. Bread from the fields, and fruit of the vine, which human hands have made. Water in a baptismal incarnation, where eternal word is united with human flesh. Then we wonder, if some water can be holy, maybe all is. If some dirt is holy, maybe all the earth is sacred. And maybe stones, and icebergs, can cry out.”
–Wes Granberg-Michaelson, Without Oars, p. 128
