Several years ago, we offered a series of posts that I called 'Our Monastic Day.' It was our own little cloistered-in-the-midst-of-the-world-horarium, looking into how we can offer our own days to God morning through night.
Reading another blog recently, I discovered a story that I was able to read in actual chronological order. The blogger simply gave a link to one post, and then linked from there to the next part of the story, and on and on. No jumping back and forth, no reading in backwards-sequence (as blogs do)... just beginning and then continuing on if one wanted to do so. I loved it. I would like to try it.
I'd like to go back over our monastic day (a kind of cloistered-heart-refresher), and why re-invent the
cloister wheel?
So I invite anyone who cares to go through a day in-the-cloister-in-the-world, little by little, to begin at the link below. At the bottom of that link, there will be another link, and on and on. When we get to Compline and the singing of the Salve Regina, we'll know that 'day' is done.
And for those who weren't around for our 'Parlor' comments-blog, I apologize for any confusion. Comments are now open right here, but we've left the Parlor open in case anyone ever wants to go back and see what was discussed there.
Let's try this, shall we?
