There is nothing humdrum about human existence. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, hardwired with a capacity for ecstasy, finely calibrated and triggered at any moment without warning: by the touch of cold water on bare skin, the caress of a lover, or the hand of God; one moment we are earthbound, and the next, lifted into rapturous exaltation.
