About this book
What draws a married Protestant poet toward a Benedictine monastery? During extended stays at St. John’s Abbey in Minnesota, Kathleen Norris discovers a way of living that makes room for doubt, repetition, friendship, and attention. Her account moves between encounters with the monks and reflections on prayer, language, relationships, and the ordinary difficulties of being human. Rather than presenting holiness as perfection, she finds it among people who joke, struggle, and begin again. Lyrical but approachable, this substantial collection of linked reflections offers an intimate view of Christian contemplation without requiring the reader to share every belief.
