BioI'm a monastic, but don't live in a monastery. I'm a Catholic, but believe I can learn about God from everyone. Sacrament is very important to me; the opinions of the Vatican are not. My education includes a B.A. in Biblical Studies, graduate work in Pastoral Counseling, an M.Div. (seminary degree) and a PH.D. in Metaphysics. I am presently taking a program in Benedictine Studies. I am also a certified Healing Touch practitioner.
I have been spiritually nurtured by the life of Jesus and Pope John Paul II, the Dalai Lama and Buddhist meditation, WICCAN rituals and beliefs, my time of study with Rabbi Shenkerman and all the books that have taught me to be like Jesus....even those which did not mention His name.
I got the idea....and a good deal of courage, to start this page from reading logospilgrim's LiveJournal. Her courage and honesty inspire me.
Among my favorite saints: Padre Pio, Francis of Assisi, Benedict, Clare, Scolastica, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Thomas Becket, Hildigard of Bingham, Julian of Norwich, Martin Luther, the Buddha, and all the unnamed Desert Mothers and Fathers.
Among my favorite movies are: The Mission, Into Great Silence, Shoes of the Fisherman, Harry Potter, Star Wars, What About Bob, Razor's Edge. I laughted myself silly when I saw Julie and Julia, and cried my eyes red the first time I watched Groundhod Day.
Among my favorite books are the Bible; Cost of Descipleship; Humility Matters; Thoughts Matter; anything by Kathleen Norris, Thomas Keating, Basil Pennington, Henri Nouwen or Thomas Merton.
Among my favorite places in the world: Portland, Maine; Seatle Washington; London, England; Gangnang, South Korea and Assisi, Italy. I could easily make my home in Florence, Italy. I have made my home in Portland, Maine; South Korea and the Philippines.
Among my favorite foods: lobster, steamed clams, Rhode Island clam cakes, calamari, gelato, black tea with cream and sugar, pasta, tacos and burritos, babyback ribs, vegetables cooked on a grill, a good BLT.
I love going to the movies, museums, classical concerts, Yani concerts, the ballet and live theater. I'm old enough to have seen Jesus Christ, Superstar live in San Francisco when it first came out, and young enough to have giggled my way through Johnny Depp and been in awe watching Avitar.
Learning is important to me, and I never want to stop. I have, quite unfortunately, a quick temper (Lord, help me!) I am also quick to respond with love and compassion. I want to love with the love of Jesus, but see there is still much judgment in me. I want to accept others with openness, but see that I often close down when I sense an attack being vollied. There is still much in me that needs to be purified by the Holy Spirit.
