To be an ordinary mystic is to lead with love, to prioritize compassion,
Mirabai Starr
to regard the world with a sincere desire to see the goodness in others.
What I like about her quote is the word ordinary. We do live in a society that thinks we need to be special, different, even superior or that we already are, rather than seeing each other as ordinary equals. We are all human, made of the same stuff, but each with our own unique gifts and talents. Seems to me the world could use a few more ordinary mystics who have a sincere desire to see the goodness in others and embrace that goodness.
