On the ordinary and the extraordinary

I’ve had, you know, completely random conversations with someone I sat next to on a train or something that have been as important to me as, you know, courses I took in college. I think that how something resonates with one’s own experience or illuminates it, there really is no objective scale for these things. And I think that’s something people have known since Piers Plowman basically, you know, that the idea of the sacred really erases away the idea of relative importance or unimportance.
