Summary

This quote by American author and poet Barbara Brown Taylor suggests that religion, in its institutionalized form, can sometimes lead to a deviation from the true essence of spirituality. When individuals focus solely on religious practices and dogmas instead of fostering a personal connection with the divine, they experience a separation from God. Taylor compares this situation to the departure of Elvis Presley from a concert venue, implying that religion without a genuine connection to the divine becomes empty and superficial. It serves as a reminder that true spirituality should not be replaced merely by religious rituals and that personal connection and authenticity are vital for a meaningful relationship with God.

Before big bridges, deep tunnels and the advent of health and safety regulations, there were many ways to cross rivers. They would use rowing boats, rickety rafts or in the absence of a vessel, swim or wade. Everyone knew what a stepping-stone was. They all understood that it was not something that you would want to stand on for any length of time. It was a means to an end, an important point and a route from A to B.
