Heschel’s Wonder-01/17/2021
Routine
The path of loyalty to the routine of sacred living runs along the borderline of the spirit; though being outside, one remains very close to the spirit. Routine holds us in readiness for the moments in which the soul enters into accord with the spirit … A good person is not he who does the right thing, but he who is in the habit of doing the right thing.
