“Holiness is the union we experience with one another and with God. Holiness is when more than one become one, when what is fractured is made whole. Singing in harmony. Breastfeeding a baby.

Holiness is the song that has always been sung, perhaps even the sound that was first spoken when God said, "Let there be light.”
