Gone monking

I've got a busy day today, with back-to-back classes and meetings, and no time even to eat lunch. But first thing in the morning, I'm sneaking away for a weekend at the monastery. I won't totally escape work: I'll be bringing with me stacks of papers to grade. But still, I'll have time to walk the sheep farm, chat with Brother Beekeeper, catch up with the two friends I'm going with, light candles in the chapel, and enjoy the peace and quiet that the monastery always offers.

So, basically, you travel a lot but you have travel anxiety.

I'm sneaking off Tuesday for a day in the silence. Enjoy!

I always live vicariously through your monastery visits. I love the idea of you there.

Exactly what Jennifer wrote. "[Going] monking" sounds wonderful right now. Enjoy.

I wish I had the ability to go do this as I wanted. Have fun! Have fun and time for refueling.
