Treasuring the ordinary

Quite a number of years ago, a person who was very influential in my monastic formation told me that I needed to learn to be ordinary. I didn't really understand that then but I have a great appreciation for it these days:

Enlightenment is just another word for feeling comfortable with being a completely ordinary person.
