Now and Here
If we had power over the ends of the earth, it would not
give us that fulfillment of existence which a quiet devoted
relationship to nearby life can give us. If we knew the
secrets of the upper worlds, they would not allow us so much
actual participation in true existence as we can achieve by
performing, with holy intent, a task belonging to our daily
duties. Our treasure is hidden beneath the hearth of our
own home.
Martin Buber, “The Way of Man”
