“..as in all housework, there is something inherently redemptive in the process, and therefore something truly good. To rend usefulness and order from the soiled and dejected is always a holy work, howsoever trivial it might seem on the surface. But we do not live in the surface of things, not really, no matter how we might skim along the glassy crust above the deeper meaning of our days. The place where we really live, where the humblest things serve the highest ends and the most menial tasks are quickened by love, is down amid the unseen ordinary where sacred significance thrums through the practicalities of daily life.”
