Klappentext
"A contemplative monk's musings on living a "useless life." In the spirit of Thomas Merton's The Sign of Jonas come five decades of life at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky from the private journals of one of Merton's former novices, Brother Paul Quenon. Readers are introduced to multiple aspects-the inwards and outwards-of a monk's life. Reflections, meditations, insights, and wanderings are mingled with outward experiences in nature, community, and sketches of monks-saintly, comical, or strange-poetic moments. Remarks are made on world events, seen from a local and momentary perspective, such as the war in Iraq, or the end of the war in Vietnam. Private discoveries of animal behavior, and magical locations for prayer are experienced with wonder. No daily chronology is followed, but entries are arranged from the 1970s to the 2000s according to the decade they occurred in, including the visit of the Dalai Lama and other occasions when this contemplative's life has intersected with spiritual teachers outside the monastery. Overall, a multi-colored, diverse, and surprising display of what it is like to live "an enclosed life.""--
