Sacramental Time

A sacrament is when something holy happens. It is transparent time, time which you can see through to something deep inside time... In other words, at such milestone moments... you are apt to catch a glimpse of the most unbearable preciousness and mystery of life... If we weren't as blind as bats, we might see that life itself is sacramental.

Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking (New York: Harper and Row, 1973), 82 - 83.
