a monk's choice

a perfect prayer silence
  
   invaded

banging thudding
garbage cans flying
yells shouts
fists thrown high

stop prayer?

the tired monk walks
into the fray

  4. Oh, how often the prayer silence is disturbed by the choices we made!
    I love this, Ollie.
    Your work is always lighten-ing and enlightening.
    Blessed be the monk. ;-)

  7. Old Ollie,

    This clearly shows that there are times when nothing is sacred. Not even prayer time for the Tired Monk....A calling waits him,

  12. I wish the "tired" monk would have just kept praying. :) I guess we have to get out in life sometimes though. It's good to get our blood pumping.
