Additional quotes by Robert Fulghum
It’s harder to talk about, but what I really, really, really want for Christmas is just this: I want to be 5 years old again for an hour. I want to laugh a lot and cry a lot. I want to be picked or rocked to sleep in someone’s arms, and carried up to be just one more time. I know what I really want for Christmas: I want my childhood back. People who think good thoughts give good gifts.
The propositions: To be human is to be religious. To be religious is to be mindful. To be mindful is to pay attention. To pay attention is to sanctify existence.
Rituals are one way in which attention is paid. Rituals arise from the stages and ages of life. Rituals transform the ordinary into the holy.
Rituals may be public, private, or secret. Rituals may be spontaneous or arranged. Rituals are in constant evolution and reformation.
Rituals create sacred time. Sacred time is the dwelling place of the Eternal. Haste and ambition are the adversaries of sacred time.
