The idea behind this card — Holy ground

Caring for this body is not a break from the vigil. It is the vigil. Washing, eating, sleeping — tending counts as keeping.

GROUND — The sacred ordinary — the body and the day as holy ground

…people sat with this card this month
…

The practice

do one plain act of maintenance today — a shower, a meal, ten minutes outside. Label it out loud: 'this too is keeping vigil.' Because it is.

Where this idea comes from

  • Benedictine ora et labora; embodiment across contemplative traditions
