Be a 'MONK' in the world

What does it mean to be a MONK in the world?

Take a 7 day e-course with me from fellow blogger, Christine Valters Paintner.  From her blog, Abbey of the Arts, you will receive an email with a photo, quote, and brief reflection, questions to ponder, and a short blessing.  Her daily message will explore some of the elements essential to a contemplative practice in everyday life.


Here is a snippet of today's post,
One of the central hallmarks of the monk is a commitment to contemplative ways of being in a frenetic world. Instead of being carried away by the daily demands of modern living, the monk makes space for holy pauses and the silence which holds everything together. Contemplative moments are an act of resistance to a world that judges our value by our productivity and achievements rather than who we are.
