“What would you like to save on today?”  I was wandering through an online store and noticed how this question kept appearing adjacent to the site’s search prompt.

What would I like to save on? Psycho-spiritual wear and tear came immediately to mind, so I typed in “soul.”

When I clicked the “Go” button, 5,910 results quickly piled onto my computer screen.  Of course I couldn’t help but notice how soul stuff marked “clearance” was mostly for men; also wondered why in the name of all that is holy “People Who Search for ‘soul’ Ultimately Bought” a Calvin Klein handbag. I can’t imagine settling for a handbag.

Call me crazy for engaging in this sort of silliness and you wouldn’t be the first. Yes, I can and often do turn just about any ordinary encounter into a spiritual exercise — and I thank God* for that.

*My search for “God” netted 10,098 results.
