Publisher's Summary

Just This is a collection of brief and evocative meditations and practices that invite us to cultivate the gift of waking up to the beauty of reality in all its glorious ordinariness. With his signature blend of contemplation, theology, and pastoral sensitivity, Fr. Richard Rohr creates a spaciousness for the soul to grow into a kind of seeing that goes far beyond merely looking to recognizing and thus appreciating. This is the heart of contemplation, the centerpiece of any inner dialogue that frees us from the traps of our perceptions and preoccupations. The contemplative mind does not tell us what to see; it teaches us how to see what we behold.

Refreshing and Challenging

I'm a conservative Christian. Rohr's message is wonderful but I recognize it can be tough to listen to because it challenges the listener to try new things and be willing to grow - in their faith but also their practice of daily life. It challenges a person's very perspective of the world, both inside and outside themselves.

But you could also put much of the universal thoughts aside and use it very effectively to improve your meditation practice. There are a lot of resources for how to meditate but not so much on why and the whole background mindset one should have going into it. Rohr addresses very well.

I will also mention that the narrator did an excellent job. It wasn't until the end that I remembered Rohr didn't do that himself. The narration felt like it came from someone who practiced everything he was talking about.

I was very impressed. I can count on one hand the number of books I've listened to \ read more than once. This is one of them.
