TOWARD THE CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE

After Easter Sunday, I will be joining a contemplative community of Anglican Carmelite nuns.  I feel the call to a quiet life, and what could be quieter than silence?  Grandpère understands, and though he may feel bereft for a while, he'll get over it.  He and my children and grandchildren can think of all the good times we had together and remember me as I was before I became really, really, really old.

The question of whether I will continue with my blog is, as yet, unsettled.  Striking the keys on the keyboard makes a noise but only a small noise, and the matter is now under negotiation with the Mother Superior.  If the blog must go, then go it must, for I will be bound by a vow of obedience.  However, take courage!  As I understand it, you, my online friends and readers, will have access to my six years of blog posts forever and ever, amen, and you can click over whenever you like for a virtual visit .

Peace.
