“People of our time are losing the power of celebration.
Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained.
Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation.
To be entertained is a passive state--it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle....
Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions."
― Abraham Joshua Heschel

“When we go into this, we’ll discover what blissfulness feels like.
We’ll touch the ecstatic realms where the mind lets go, where thinking comes to an end.
When thoughts do come, they’re the thoughts of God, so they only engender more bliss.
We’ll become like a child again, and life becomes heaven on earth” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways
