Isaac Newton once said if two angels were sent down from heaven, one to conduct an empire and the other to sweep a street, they would feel no inclination to change employment.
An angel would know that no matter what the task, there is an opportunity to bring light and joy; to deepen our understanding, and to expand our life.
Even the smallest moments in life can be food for our spiritual quest. For example, if you're in line at the DMV and the line is moving slowly, you can use that time to relax. Witness how you feel when you're starting to get cranky and see whether you can change that irritation into a happy moment. You can get to know a neighbor in line or you can just stand savoring a peaceful moment and take a deep breath.
Every single moment can be spiritual nourishment. Even the smallest moment can truly be food for our spiritual growth
