Earth's crammed with heaven,
and every common bush afire with God;
but only he who sees takes off his shoes,
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I think the thing is to not only see God in every common bush and wonder in it but see God in those blackberries too. I believe there is no sacred/secular divide, all things belong to God as God is in all things, making our entire lives sacred and miraculous.
Scripture
When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ Then he said, ‘Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.’
Exodus 3:4-5
