This book speaks to the monk/nun or mystic within us. It affirms our place in the sacred silence of solitude and inner reflection, showing how even everyday life is filled with opportunities to live fully in the world - as if it were a holy monastery. Here we learn to live, within the limits, as well as the spirit of everyday life and how to appreciate our most human self as the path to explore the divine.

Here we encounter a world that is clearly available to us, a world filled with nothing less than the gift of sacred silence within the monastery without walls.
