Spirituality
The ‘Wow’s, ‘Ows’ and ‘Nows’
The language of spirituality begins from a Christian understanding that everyone is a valued creation, individually and uniquely made by God, like pots made by a potter (Isaiah 64:8). Yet in life things happen that impact on the physical ‘pot’ of life and create cracks that provide a glimpse of something ‘beyond’ the tangible.
Cracks may be caused when something so good and breathtaking that the pot expands and cracks- the WOWs of life.
Cracks may happen when something challenging happens and threatens the comfort of everyday. The OWs of life. Cracks can also happen in the stillness and ordinariness of everyday- the NOWs of life. A moment of stillness, a pause, prayer can create a crack in the normal, physical everyday.
