Some people ask me why I left everything of my work in parishes and came to the monastery, this out of the way place. Well, as I see it, Jesus, who I am supposed to be following, was rather busy making a living as a carpenter. He made stuff for people and helped to build houses, repair houses, help in the fields at harvest time, and was an eldest son in the family. Then he went to the desert. Maybe he started out with short visits for some solitude and silence. But eventually he went. It is where John the Baptist found him. And from there Jesus knew what to do next. Back in Nazareth, his hometown, many thought he was crazy. Follow your heart.
