Seeing the depths of things.

"It is not enough that we behave better; we must come to see things differently. We must learn to see the depths of things, not just reality at superficial levels.

"This especially means we need to see the nonseparateness of the world from God and the oneness of all reality in God; the Hidden Ground of Love in all that is.

"Prayer is a kind of corrective lens that does away with the distorted view of reality that, for some mysterious reason, seems to be my normal vision, and enables me to see what is as it really is."
-William H. Shannon, Silence on Fire
