We definitely need to gather together and discuss this parable in depth. I believe there are many relevant concepts that we can take forward into each of our own lives.
I LOVE "There was something a little bit magical about run-of-the-mill, clumsy-ass doggedness,... about persisting despite a very bad forecast." It speaks to my whole life and I think the life of my ancestors as well. It IS after all what gets most of us through the spaces we can't, or haven't, anticipated!
To the constructs of sacred and profane. It is my understanding that profane comes from a word meaning, "outside the temple." Very convenient in some contexts I guess, but in the end I don't believe anything is outside the temple. It's all, in some way sacred, even poop. For it comes from the Creator of the multi-verse. It partly defines our creatureliness, which is holy. If only we had eyes to see.
