New Wine, Old Wineskins

Not much will happen to me in the monastery if I keep to my usual routines that I have established elsewhere.  I remember one year I had a subscription to "Sports Illustrated."  That was not a good idea.  The use of internet to connect with what is going on in the outside world is not very conducive to "new wineskins." Really helpful info from the outside somehow always seems to get known within the enclosure.  I don't need to go looking for it.  People will send me an email asking, "Did you get my email?" as if I look at computer every day.  If you want to change, you might think of letting go of old habits, past ways of doing things.  Why?  To practice "letting go" is a way to becoming a new wineskin.
