The study will continue every Wednesday this semester.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u201cTaylor reveals meaningful ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see, from simple practices such as walking, working, and prayer. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of meditation if we pay attention to what we\u2019re doing and take time to notice the sights, smells, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go, in nearly everything we do. Through Taylor\u2019s expert guidance and delicate, thought-provoking prose, we learn to live with purpose, pay attention, slow down, and revere the world we live in.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p2\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003ELearn how to discover the sacred moments hidden in everyday life.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Learn how to discover the sacred moments hidden in everyday life."}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2015-01-07 17:32:42","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:20:45","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2015-01-14T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2015-01-14T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2015-01-14T16:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2015-01-14 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2015-01-14 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2015-01-14 21:00:00","rrule":"RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20150417T035959Z;WKST=SU\nEXDATE:20150318T000000","timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"70391","name":"Bible"},{"id":"44721","name":"christian"},{"id":"11656","name":"religious"},{"id":"61201","name":"wesley foundation"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"},{"id":"1791","name":"Student sponsored"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EKristi Painter\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:kristi.painter@gtwf.org\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022s2\u0022\u003Ekristi.painter@gtwf.org\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
