Spirituality (n.) on ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠earth resides entirely in the act of nourishing.

Spirituality (n.) lies ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not in our dealings with things but in our relation to the bare fact that there is being at all.

Spirituality (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠sense, and sense is not a mere penury of being; it is no longer to be understood on the basis of knowing.

Spirituality (n.) comes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠to us not through a tangible substance but through absence: God is real not by incarnation but by Law.

Spirituality (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the soul is its being ceaselessly roused from its state of soul — from the wakefulness that already closes over itself and falls asleep.

Spirituality (n.) after ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the Gulag and Auschwitz: a piety without promises, sustained by the "little kindness" of one person to another, which validates no government — a spirituality whose future is unknown.

Spirituality (n.) professed ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠only "in spirit and in truth" can never be cornered — the hour of confrontation never comes, and in that world nobody dies a violent death except mountaineers and saints.
