I have a Challenge<\/strong> and a Riddle<\/strong> for you today. BUT,.. it\u2019s going to take some work on your part. So,\u2026stop reading right now if you don\u2019t want to do the work \u2013 unless of course you\u2019re a curious soul like me and don\u2019t want to stop until you find out what the challenge involves.<\/p>\n

THE CHALLENGE:\"\"<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u2022\u00a0 Read<\/strong> Fr. Richard Rohr\u2019s meditation, Embracing Enoughness<\/a><\/em><\/span>.<\/strong> My Cliff Notes version for those who don\u2019t want to even read 496 words is:
\n\u00a0 \u00a0I have just 3 things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. (<\/em>Lao Tzu)
\n\u00a0 \u00a0We can\u2019t discover the truth until we remove the clutter, <\/em>(Rohr)
\n\u2022\u00a0 Decide<\/strong> at least one action to take to implement Enoughness<\/em>.
\nThis counts as simplicity.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Do it<\/strong> during the next two weeks.
\nIt can involve physical clutter (food, clothing, shelter, and the money to pay for these)
\nOR intellectual clutter (meetings, information overload, work space),
\nOR emotional clutter (worries, self-esteem, annoyances)
\nThis counts as removing clutter.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Read the \u201creveal\u201d<\/strong> in two weeks. I\u2019ve already done this challenge.
\nWaiting to read my experiences counts as patience.<\/p>\n

THE RIDDLE:\"\"<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u2022\u00a0 <\/strong>What does coping with Covid-19 have in common with liturgy (ritual prayer)?
\nFor extra credit ponder (and share) what the coronavirus is teaching you.<\/p>\n
