Circiling Home

I have been following the posting of Kurt Hoelting from his blog found at

I highly recommend this blog. I wrote this comment after reading his post for yesterday for the New Year
"I am reminded of the monastic vow of Stability which means that a monk will remain for the rest of his/her life in the place this vow is taken. And of the Orthodox practice of Poustinia which is a setting aside of a place in one's home in which one goes to pray regularly.
it would seem that everything in our culture is working against these because we are always pushed to move to the new, the next.
My spouse frequently reminds me that I need to pay more attention to the wave I am on and stop looking for the next one to ride.
And finally I am reminded of the classic definition of gluttony: "Thinking about desert when I am still eating the main course."
