This regimen of finding and doing with enough, Benedict taught, allows us to focus on what truly matters: time where we discover that something larger than ourselves isn’t absent from everyday life. Benedict believed we find higher purpose and satisfaction in helping others, experiencing and making creative works, learning new things, balancing time in solitude and with others, and awareness in nature. And, most important, contemplating whatever big eternal mystery we think is the Big Eternal Mystery and letting that guide us.
