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”
