Family 2.0

the family sleeps
the youthful novices
ensconced in their old rooms
silent and steady

in the new room
new life
sleeps
the newest novice
he calls
I heed
we discuss - meet - eat
11:00 - 1:00 - 3:00 - 6:00

big beautiful night duties
the tired monk
the blessed monk

    SO beautiful. A new life.....the most magical time, those night feedings. I love "the tired monk, the blessed monk". Just lovely. Makes me feel wonderful!

    A nice way to understand the challenges of family life. Duties at night, may as well look at the stars.
