Contemplation – Christine Valters Paintner 

“Contemplation invites us into a paradox in that it does not have a ‘purpose’ or end goal, but is always bringing us into deeper intimacy with the One who is already with us, already offering us generous grace in each moment, supporting us in imagining a renewed world.”
 — Christine Valters Paintner, PhD Illuminating the Way: Embracing the Wisdom of Monks and Mystics 

Consider the invitation from your inner Monk. What if your “purpose” is simple paying attention and bringing reverence wherever you go?
