"When we clean, we begin to appreciate how things are there for us, supporting us, encouraging us..... and when we appreciate things, we appreciate ourselves and one another. So, to respect the floor or the grounds, is to respect ourselves. This is how we develop intimacy and connection. Although everything is one, you will not understand what that means, unless you practice it. When you clean, you experience the oneness. You realise everything is helping you."

"i belong here because i clean here.
i am welcome here when i touch these places with devotion and kind attention.
Do not overlook the obvious."
