Mystery must be found everywhere and everyday.

Thankyou Ari for your article. Can I add my own Buber story quoted from Rabbi Schulweis...

'One fall morning Buber, then a professor, was visited by an unknown young man. Buber was friendly and attentive but without being there in spirit. After the conversation, Buber later learned that the young man who had come to see him had died. It is left unclear as to whether this was a natural death or perhaps a suicide but Buber is deeply affected by this news and asks of himself, "What do you expect when we are in despair and yet go to a man? Surely a presence by means of which we are told that nevertheless there is meaning."

What was missing was a glimmer of an "I-thou" relationship, an authentic encounter with mutuality, a recognition of the uniqueness of this meeting that called for wholeness, for attention. It is at that moment that Buber gives up the notion of religious mysticism that deals with the exceptional, with the extraordinary. Buber concludes "I possess nothing but the everyday out of which I am never taken." Mystery must be found everywhere and everyday.'
