Thich Nhat Hanh once wrote of washing dishes “I enjoy taking my time with each dish, being fully aware of the dish, the water, and each movement of my hands. I know that if I hurry in order to be able to finish so I can sit down sooner and eat dessert or enjoy a cup of tea, the time of washing dishes will be unpleasant…That would be a pity, for each minute, each second of life is a miracle. The dishes themselves and the fact that I am here washing them are miracles!” In the spirit of our March theme of “Paying Attention” and the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh’s reflections on washing dishes, this service will ask us to consider how we might encounter holiness in everyday moments that may seem unremarkable on the surface.
