Finding Meaning in Repetition

Michael beside his dialysis machine

Repetition isn’t just endurance—it’s transformation.

  • Monks repeat prayers, chants, and tasks, believing that depth is found in the familiar. Ora et labora—prayer and work—elevates the mundane to the sacred.
  • Dialysis patients return again and again to the same chair, the same process. Yet some find within it a space for reflection, prayer, creativity—even communion.
  • Autistic individuals often find joy and meaning in repetition. A favorite song, a comforting movement, a daily ritual—these can be grounding, expressive, and deeply spiritual.

Repetition becomes a doorway—not a prison.
