Kadosh

Kadosh, it’s a Hebrew word for holy
In the Bible there’s a prophet named Zachariah and he talks about how the holiness of the high priest and the sacrednesses of the vessels will transfer to the horses and to the ordinary cooking pots of every citizen
It’s another way of saying, it’s all holy
It’s all been holy, the whole time
Everything belongs
Hazrat Inayat Kahn famously said, “ when the eyes and ears are open even the leaves of the trees become  pages of the Bible.”
It’s all kadosh
Rob Bell actually did a whole speaking tour around this word several years ago and it was brilliant 
I think we all have a bigger capacity for love and acceptance then we practice and I think it’s helpful to remember that we’re all sitting at the same table 
We all belong 
We are all connected
What if we acknowledged that holiness in everyone, everyday 
Yes, even those people 
What if we woke up every day and didn’t judge any of it
It’s a miracle when we develop a new way of seeing something 
We soften when we understand 
What if over the course of your life, everything that happened to you was ultimately for your higher good
Would that change your story?
Would you still be hurt or angry?
Let the thought sit a minute 
What if it’s all divine
What if you used your pots and pans tonight and made dinner with love because you believe that the divine is in the details and even the smallest of things can be holy
I believe this might be a way forward 
A way to live 
Kadosh
To see the divine in everything 
To see everything as holy
