Description
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year, The Cloister Walk is a spiritual journey that explores the intersection of faith and everyday life. Poet Kathleen Norris's book is a personal and introspective account of her time among the Benedictines at St. John's Abbey in Minnesota, where she delves into the world of monasticism and its relevance to modern life. Through her experiences, Norris sheds light on the ways in which the monastic way of life can impart meaning to our secular lives, and how the rituals and practices of the monastery can be applied to our own lives. This thought-provoking work is a meditation on the nature of faith, love, and grace, and is written in a lyrical and accessible style. By immersing herself in the world of the monastery, Norris reveals the ways in which the past can inform and enrich our present, and how the principles of monasticism can be applied to our own lives, regardless of our faith background.
