Finding the Divine in the Mundane

From Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology Newsletter
this week:

"The moment you come to trust chaos, you see God clearly. Chaos is
divine order, versus human order. Change is divine order, versus human order. When the chaos becomes safety to you, then you know you're seeing God clearly."
—Caroline Myss, *Spiritual Madness: The Necessity of Meeting God in Darkness*


So is that why I can't seem to keep my apartment clean for more than 30 seconds or so?
The chaos does feel safe, but I think laziness is more to blame for the clothes, papers, and dishes that always seem to be piling up. Disorder!

But I digress, this week's scope:

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "Your job," my philosophy teacher Norman O. Brown told me back in 1981, "is to find the holy in the mundane, and, failing that, to *create* the holy in the mundane." I've done my best to carry out his directions all these years. Now I'm going to ask you to do your part, Aquarius. Believe it or not, one of your important tasks in the coming week is to feel awe and reverence while you're in the midst of the everyday routine. Penetrate to the deeper layers as you seek out divine beauty that gently shocks you into a state of heightened awareness.

I like that one. I always try to find the holy in the mundane, it's my brand of wierd.

Have a lovely Wednesday everyone!
