from. . .God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
"In the past you strove to be perfect. You kept a list of tasks you considered to be worthy, and another you dismissed as selfish. You developed a rating system and judged yourself according to results. Now you wash dishes for God. Now when you dance the tango you are dancing with the Holy One, when you check email you are corresponding with the Holy One, and when you grade papers you are giving encouragement to the Holy One. Undressing your lover is unwrapping a divine gift; eating chocolate is partaking of a sacrament. Forgetting to drop off the recycling, neglecting to call your dad on his birthday, getting offended when your friend suggests that your jeans are too right--- these are all comedy routines you perform for the God of Love, which crack God up and make God love you all the more"
