Frederick Buechner shares that when we witness a sacrament, we catch a glimpse of the almost unbearable preciousness and mystery of life.[1] All our meals, conversations, music, laughter, and delight in the natural world can be considered sacred. In a world marked by deep pain, these gifts are truly, even unbearably, precious.
— And —
If no one has told you this,
YOU are an embodiment of unbearable preciousness and mystery.
I hope you know that today.
—Renee Roederer
