Whenever we slow down, time cooperates, seemingly stretching out and unfolding before us, lingering with us rather than running away from us. Choosing to slow down in order to pay attention to God is the prequel to the spiritual life. Look around . Being open to the Spirit requires observation skills. To answer, one has to be able to see who and where one is.
Spirituality starts with reality.
Stepping over broken glass and refuse littering the neighborhood, they look at the burned-out shells of buildings around them, pay attention to any and all people they see, take in all the tragic sights and malodorous smells of the blighted area where they live. They see all that and more. Spirituality isn't otherworldly. It is this world God created, loved, lived in and died for, not some other more perfect one. Practice paying attention.
