Tonight started my weekend of discernment and prayer. I arrived at the monastery at 8:15pm, later than expected. I was actually fortunate to get in, because usually the gate closes at 8, but the gate-keeper was late tonight.
Upon arrival, I settled in my room, number 212. The room's simple, yet complete: a bed, a night table, a desk, a lamp, and a bathroom. It has electricity, but no phone, and no internet. Thanks be to God for simplicity.
I set up my stuff, jotted down a few notes about my day tomorrow, prayed, and turned off the light by 10pm.
Tomorrow I gotta get up early: Lauds (Morning Prayer) begin at 5:05am, before the sun even announces her presence.
