Contemplation is life itself, fully awake, fully active, fully aware that it is alive. It is spiritual wonder. It is spontaneous awe at the sacredness of life, of being. It is gratitude for life, for awareness, and for being. It is a vivid realization of the fact that life and being in us proceed from an invisible, transcendent, and infinitely abundant source. Contemplation is, above all, awareness of the reality of that source. Thomas Merton |
There’s lots of ways to enjoy the Festival of Potluck Foods. During the previous festivals at different sites, celebrants appreciated the experience both in practical and abstract terms. Some enjoyed it as a community banquet, uniquely reflective of Oak Park’s long-term commitment to diversity. Others delighted in it as a funky kind of off-beat feast in a funky kind of off-beat town. Still others appreciated the visually compelling array of foods from polyglot ethnic traditions.
