Ultimately, to live an enchanted life is to pick up the pieces of our bruised and battered psyches, and to offer them the nourishment they long for. It is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at the heart of the ordinary. Above all, to live an enchanted life is to fall in love with the world all over again. This is an active choice, a leap of faith which is necessary not just for our own sakes, but for the sake of the wide, wild Earth in whose being and becoming we are so profoundly and beautifully entangled.

Oooo - I love this idea of "being enchanted" - experiencing the magic of life once again - and make the heart laugh :)... "To be shaken to the core by the extraordinary at the heart of the ordinary" in the everydayness of life... I think I need to read this book! Thank you!
