Here's a recent reflection from Richard Rohr we used as our lectio in the Monday Mindfulness group. As usual, RR is interesting and helpful.

The greatest
and most important problems of life are fundamentally unsolvable. They can
never be solved, but only outgrown.
~ Carl Jung
Whether we
find our True Self depends in large part on the moments of time we are each
allotted, and the moments of freedom that we each receive and choose during
that time. Life is indeed “momentous,” created by accumulated moments in which
the deeper “I” is slowly revealed, if we are ready to see it. Holding our inner
blueprint, which is a good description of our soul, and returning it humbly to
the world and to God by love and service is indeed of ultimate concern.
Each thing
and every person must act out its nature fully, at whatever cost. It is our
life’s purpose, and the deepest meaning of “natural law.” We are here to give
back fully and freely what was first given to us—but now writ personally—by us!
It is probably the most courageous and free act we will ever perform—and it
takes both halves of our life to do it fully! The first half of life is
discovering the script, and the second half is actually writing it and owning
it.
