Mushrooms

This quote comes to us through Catherine Crews who was with a gathering at Praxis through the 4th of July weekend. We had discussions as to our purpose and "being" here in space-time, and this summarizes a very strong point made my Linda Diehnelt in our discussion.

The world exists, not for what it means
but for what it is.
The purpose of mushrooms
is to be mushrooms;
wine is in order to be wine:
things are precious before they are contributory.

--Father Robert Capon
