Fr. Richard Rohr on the Art of Action and Contemplation

…you cannot grow in the great art form, the integration of action and contemplation, without
1) a strong tolerance for ambiguity;
2) an ability to allow, forgive, and contain a certain degree of anxiety; and
3) a willingness to not know and not even need to know.
This is how you allow and encounter mystery.
All else is mere religion.

From Richard Rohr, From A Lever And a Place to Stand: The Contemplative Stance, the Active Prayer,
