I loved seeing it, not for the death of the worm, but for the life of the robin--ignoring me, the human who walked by. Living as it should: and glorifying God in that.

The monastery was incredible. There was peace and joy I found there. I was so sad to leave; finally getting into the rhythm of the prayers and readings, getting to know the various modes the monks chant to. I want to go to mass more often. I loved mass.
