So when I wrote last I was in the beginning stages of the monastery cold. It has been making it's way through the brothers, think Rob had it but I got it. I don't really know what sort of cold it was I just felt 'bleh' from Thursday around lunch till Sunday morning, maybe a bit Saturday evening.
Either way I feel So much better!
So before Tyler left I was really sad he was leaving but once he was actually gone I was sorta ok with it. I have opinions on that but they are mine and he made his own decision and will have to live with it. Not to say that I've forgotten him, cuz I haven't, I'm just going on I guess.
So I read the old testament lesson at the 9am Sunday Eucharist yesterday. The Superior asked me the night before as we were doing dishes if I have and would I like to. Course I said yes and one of the brothers got a big printed version for me. It was Isaiah 25: 1-9 great sermon! Should be up on the website in a couple days.
This Sabbath has been very restful. We hung out here, hung out in Harvard square a bit today. I got a journal and a pen at the Coop today. I've tried journaling before but disliked the ease at which I could edit myself and how easily it can be deleted. Makes my hand tired but it's good for me I think. Gonna spend a bit more time with VHS 21 and 22 in the rule for class tomorrow.
Apparently the Link I posted didn't work, so go to google- type in SSJE rule of life, PDF. Or you could go to ssje's website and read it there or listen to the brothers read it.
No morning prayer or compline till next Sunday, only 4 brothers here right now and the 3 of us, but I'm still gonna get up at 6:30 or 7 to take the silent hour. I will say after taking my retreat day, I understand the need for silence. I enjoyed it and actually got annoyed when someone wanted to talk to me- particularly if it was about Doc.
I mean, hey, no you can't pet him cause he's working but don't just walk away! I'm interesting too!
Bye for now. All is good I wouldn't be anywhere else :)
