I'm under the impression that the vast majority of churchgoers don't even experience that. A real appreciation for Creation is a great start, and I suspect a portion of why modernity discourages it.
I have been lightly studying orthodox mysticism, from a roman perspective. Before, I just felt comfortable outside. Now, it's one big meditation. Every breeze, every bump in the road, every step has become a part of a larger conversation with God. I'm still working on listening properly, but I hope to walk like Adam once did---with the world turned into a garden for God's glory and my benefit.
Or not. The goal is still evolving, and I'm excited to see where it leads.
