If you ask me why I made the choice to live in this monastery and practice this way of life and prayer, I would say it is not the right question. Why? Well, I did not make the choice. God made the choice for me to be here and I am following that Energy. When you sense or feel that you are in the right place or space or activity, I suggest that you do not ponder why you chose it. I might rather be that you have responded to being chosen for this in the here and now. Which means that there might be a power around and in your life that is other than you. Faith need not always be about a believing in someone or something, but rather a response to something that is right for you. We can make too much of dogma and little of action. Faith is a response to rather than a belief in.
