TIME TO BE-MOVING ON: Snowdrop Time

The essence of a spiritual life

'We mostly spend (our) lives conjugating three verbs: to want, to have, and to do. Craving clutching, and fussing, on the material, political, social, emotional, intellectual - even on the religious- plane, we are kept in perpetual unrest: forgetting that none of these words have (sic) any ultimate significance, except in so far as they are transcended by, and included in, the verb to be: and that being, not wanting, having and doing, is the essence of the spiritual life.'

Evelyn Underhill The Spiritual Life p18
