In just less than five weeks, I'll be spending about four days at Mepkin Abbey, hanging out (by myself?) and doing who knows what. (If you know who Thomas Merton is...Mepkin is the Trappist monastery founded by Merton's own brothers from Gethsemani in Kentucky).
I am so, so looking forward to this...
..no work stress..
..no demands for my time..
..no computers..
..no media or advertisements or commercialism..
..no distractions but my own mind (which is distracting enough, for sure)..
Just me, nature, God and a bunch of monks. Who don't generally talk. (The monks, that is...I'm counting on God talking.)
I'm especially glad to be going for Easter Week - it just seems like a good ending for this season of Lent.
I'll also be giving the world a play-by-play of monastic life via Twitter.
(So just kidding...i don't think Hugh reads this but that was for him :P)
