A quote on communion

I ran across this in my reading and found it relevant to some of my current views. It is from the article "Cosmology and Consciousness" by John T. Brinkman, published in Buddhist-Christian Studies, vol 18. I hope it triggers some good thinking!

"(C)ommunion is the ultimate condition for (persons) to experience the mystery of things...to be present to things as they truly are...We do not deal with the human community over against the world. Indeed true wisdom is found in the effort to engage life, for example rain sound and moonlight, with a sustained sense of spontaneity. What is to be decided is the question of how to live in such a way as to not distance oneself from the immediacy of the experience."
