The divine office, the daily saying of morning and evening prayer, teaches me to perceive holy time behind ordinary time. Not only the rush of God while brushing my teeth, but the living of every moment is sacred. The music of the spheres, the planets whirring on their taut gravitational strings journeying around the sun, is implicit in the whirling dervishness of the children and in the daily circuit of obligations and errands. The saying of daily prayers is a way of learning to tell time not only in recognizable moments of grace but within the daily struggles to stay on time.
