…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,
The picture is really a piece of work… Distinctive nuance in such an intuitive moment… Creating a pleasant atmosphere of nature… Inspiring, alluring, and encouraging us to be thankful through a true contemplating silence… Wonderful!
