We hurry through the so-called boring things
in order to attend to that which we deem more important, interesting.
Perhaps the final freedom will be a recognition that everything in every moment is “essential“
and that nothing at all is “important.”

Why not then continue to look upon it all as a child would, as were looking at something unfamiliar, out of the depths of your own world, from the vastness of your own solitude, which is itself work and status and vocation? Why should you want to give up a child’s wise not-understanding in exchange for defensiveness and scorn, since not understanding is, after all, a way of being alone, whereas defensiveness and scorn are a participation in precisely what, by these means, you want to separate yourself from.
Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
It is so easy to miss the tiny symbols. Finding them is quite different from the business of trying to hatch up big symbolic experiences. It is recognition, not pursuit, of meaning — recognition of the sacramental, of the intersection of the two worlds, breaking through unsought because one is attending.

There is a permanent amnesia planted in us,
which just as we keep forgetting our dreams,
we sometimes keep on forgetting our reality.
