Time Flies

More than a week has gone by since I moved to my new digs, and I’m sure all 5 of you who read this have been dying to know about the changes in my life.

In short, there really haven’t been too many changes.  My schedule is the same, so now I just wear a dress and don’t talk at meals.  Both are nice.

In seriousness, I really enjoy things thus far.  Sure, they are challenging in new ways–ways I probably didn’t foresee, but overall it has been a positive experience for me.  The community is great, and community was something I missed as a volunteer.  Now I’m part of the monastic crowd, instead of being a non-staff non-seminarian non-monastic volunteer.  I have a place, and it seems to be the place God wants me at this moment.  There’s little that is more satisfying.

Time to observe a Monastic High Nap.  Happy Sunday.

    I seriously cannot wait to say in casual conversation: “So the other day, my monk friend. . .”

    Take care of my old room. It was interesting, because in a conversation the other day, someone said (without me telling them that I’d been in a monastery), “The life of a monk must be pretty easy.” I just thought “Buddy, if you only knew how hard it is.” Except for Haustus, that part’s easy.

    Glad to hear you are happy. Your new life reminds me of my favorite symbol. A hand with a heart in it. Hand is for work, Heart is for God. Amish I think.

    Love Ya!
