This was such a fantastic look into the cloistered life of monks & nuns from an outsiders POV. It's reverent & honest, with poetical writing. 5 ⭐️

" ... hospitality is at the center of it all. In a work in which we are so easily labeled and polarized by our differences ... monastic hospitality is a model of the kind of openness that we need if we are going to see and hear each other at all."

This is such a beautifully written book. I'm slowly making my way through it and marking as I go along.

The connections that Benedictines painstakingly thread through their everyday lives reinforce my sense of monastic life itself as a great poem, one that honors and celebrates Jesus Christ, who, Oscar Wilde tells us in De Profundis, "is the poem God made."

Dear Litsy friends, I am looking for a recommendation. This book is about a woman immersing herself within a Christian convent. Would anyone know of anything similar involving Buddhist monks and/or nuns?? Thanks in advance!! ❤️💖😘

Neverlistless @kmdartist that is great! Thank you! And I will also put Afterzen on my list because it looks like it's a part of a series. Thank you again! 8y

I primarily buy used books as opposed to new because I like recycling 😀 I also give a lot of my books away so others can enjoy them. These are the #usedbooks from my last haul. My cat wasn't in to being in the picture 😺 #augustphotochallenge
