A monk, he said, is a man who is truly searching for God.  My husband and I wanted to find a way of life capable of testing the truth of our desire.  We longed to 'be made worthy of the promises of Christ,' but we were finding it difficult, in our ordinary circumstances, to grapple with the side of ourselves that wasn't truly searching for God." ....... Not infrequently I am asked, 'But what do you do with yourself?' 'Not much,' I usually reply and wonder if I should mention how many hours it all takes.  Next time I'll look my visitor right in the eye and say, "I work at being peaceful' or "I'm studying how to be content.' "  -- Excerpts from AN ACCIDENTAL MONK.
