I am going in and out of enclosure this week, so I feel a bit like the cowboy and Indian in The Indian in the Cupboard. It is SO WEIRD being in for prayer and other things and coming out for Net access and meeting people.
I may skip the Net access over the Triduum. So, if you do not hear from me, it just means I am really being quiet.
But, if you think a monastery is a quiet place, you need to stay for a while. So many visitors and the phone rings off the hook, as well as the door bell ringing almost as much.
Portresses are the example of patience.
