Meditations: On the Monk Who Dwells in Daily Life
In this small book, bestselling author Moore (Care of the Soul, etc.) makes a simple point: The monastic life offers lessons that, once learned, will enhance the spiritual dimension of daily life. He teaches this message in brief prose selections, which he calls "seeds," each of which highlights a particular virtue of monasticism that, if planted in the midst of worldly concerns and nurtured by careful practice, will reach fruition in the soul-centered life. From the example of the monk, as Moore narrates, we learn that a certain kind of work feeds the soul; that we need to become experts in emptiness; and that study amplifies the music of the world. This is not a book to read over from cover to cover; it is a book to carry around and savor in moments of individual meditation.
