Diane’s home from her trip to the Abbey of Regina Laudis to see Sister Cecilia and her other yoga friends. She had a great time.  . . It was so cool hearing about her trip. The  Brothers and Sisters of the Abbey sound like wonderful and gracious hosts.

Monastic life seems so appealing to me ..   Diane’s stories and pictures paint a picture of a happier , more self contained and simpliler life. Lots of hard work.. and few distractions.. surrounded by love and quiet.. The sisters and brothers there  do most of the work to raise food, make repairs and run the place.. Like a holy version of the Colony I suppose.

It would be fun to try, but who am I kidding ? I’d probably last about 20 minutes in the monastic life … I think I crave the hustle bustle and distractions of my life.. .though  I could probably use a little more quiet now

Think I’ll get some now..

Pax vobiscum folks.. Pax vobiscum Sam
