I think too of the Biblical allusions to the weight of glory on the other side of our present sufferings, the treasure (for those who believe the gospel) in the earthen vessels of ordinary lives, the image of God in each man, and Jesus remark that if the Psalmist could speak of normal men as gods, then sure Jesus (who was God in the beginning) could be called the son of God. <br />Remembering that glory hiding in human lives as helped me. Certain pleasures that might be considered rich man's pleasures (listening to more classical music and reading more poetry) have helped me too. Perhaps modernity forces those who do not live in the moment by moment struggle to survive and by the incessant materialistic worldview need extra work to be mythologized and enchanted back into the world as it really is.
