Spirituality and the everyday

David Crouch reflects on feeling, meaning and an immanent spirituality that he finds in everyday life

by David Crouch 7th October 2011

One of the most powerful moments of feeling that I have experienced happened after I had completed a presentation on community gardening, life and space at an art gallery in the middle of England.  The session was on refuges. I talked about small plots of land and what they meant to people who cultivate them. A tall, thin Indian woman, a gardener, looking very tired, came up to me on the edge of tears. As her eyes lit up she told me that for once she felt connected and proud of what gave her life meaning.
