Notice how similar the definition of liturgy is to the definition of habit. They’re both something repeated over and over, which forms you; the only difference is that a liturgy admits that it’s an act of worship. Calling habits liturgies may seem odd, but we need language to emphasize the non-neutrality of our day-to-day routines.

It wasn’t until reading Genesis one day that I finally came to a theological understanding of what had been happening in the pottery shop all along. “And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food” (Genesis 2:9). This verse caught my eye because it explains the very metaphor that I had adopted to describe my pottery trips: sight and food. The stomach was made to hunger for food; the eye was made to hunger for beauty. We were made to consume beautiful things. Excellent music, great films, stunning performances—these are all food for the hungry soul.
