Lenten Wave #1
There is a venerable surfing expression: "You learn something from every wave". Whether the wave is big or small, junky or sublime, there is always something that may be gleaned. During the season of Lent, we again offer a quotation to serve as an aid in daily meditation. We hope that one may learn something from every quote. Each of the daily quotations is illustrated with a photo of waves in their rich variance.
Today's quotation is from Alan Watts, who was, before he become the premier apologist of Eastern religion in the United States, an Episcopal priest:
"Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it."
