Back to the Monastery

Back for more quiet – it seems they have a bumper crop of it here. I got an inner alarm recently that said “Warning – too much stuff with too little weight!” Another alarm sounded, “Noise level too high, shut up and listen!” She is angry for good reason. I did not give her the whole truth, because I was not yet able to handle it myself. What seemed to be my decision was only partially so. It was time for this to happen, but that does not make it easy.

God a magnet pulls
My soul to quiet reflection
More than a quart low
