a beautifully relevant quote sent by miss alycia capone.
too beautifully relevant to keep to myself:
Our first task in approaching
another people,
another culture,
another religion,
is to take off our shoes.
For the place we are approaching is holy.
Else we find ourselves treading
on another's dream.
More serious still, we may forget that
God was present before our arrival.

Do you know whose quote this is? I am looking for the origin of this quote: our first task in approaching another person, another culture, another religion is to take off our shoes....
thanks!
The words may be from John Taylor's, The Primal Vision, written in 1963.
