The idea behind this card — Ordinary days

You're allowed to let something be easy today. Even the monasteries kept ordinary days. A lower bar is still a bar.

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

…people sat with this card this month

The practice

choose one standard to officially lower today — say it out loud: 'Dinner is cereal.' 'The laundry waits.' Lowering it on purpose turns failure into practice. Practice carries no shame.

Where this idea comes from

  • Liturgical calendars — ferial days and Ordinary Time; Benedictine ordinary rhythm
