A Simple Spring Beginning

Greetings, blessings, and thank you for dropping by my new weblog. I am greatly inspired in this undertaking by Sister Laurel's Notes from Stillsong Hermitage . She's been blogging for a while, and she is both a Canon 603 hermit and a Spiritual Director, which I think is a remarkably encouraging combination. Sister Laurel's example gives me hope that perhaps one day I, too, could serve the Church as a professed hermit, blogger, and Spiritual Director. Since I know how busy you all are, and I believe an economy of words is part of the eremitic calling, m y plan is to publish just one weekly progress note every Friday evening at 5 PM Eastern Time. I will also limit myself to just five paragraphs per post. If you are reading this after receiving my email invitation, please know that I am deeply grateful for all that you have done to support me on the spiritual path. I don't expect any of you to scrupulously follow my updates, but I welcome private comments and questions ...
