On this first day of NaPoWriMo, I am posting a haibun in response to Frank J. Tassone’s prompt about the virus.
Almost exactly two years before this quarantine started, I spent my spring break visiting a monastery. I was considering the life of a cloistered nun, as I was very attracted to their way of life and prayer.
I loved every minute of that time and even visited again that summer. However, in the end, it was not to be, and I have not pursued it any further.
Now is my new chance to be a cloistered nun.
Black-and-white clad nuns
Flock together in spirit
As bells are tolling
Oh that is SO beautiful. I didn’t know you wanted to be a nun. Oyr homes can be oyr hermitage. You are aee obviously thinking a along those lines.

Most people don’t know that. 🙂 Well, now the internet does, LOL. But I usually don’t talk about it because it freaks people out! *laughs*

This is a wonderful post. I had briefly considered becoming a nun many years ago–and now I find that my heart is drawn into a deeper faith-experience, which I hope my blog is reflecting. Blessings to you ❤
