long time no write much happen

in which i notice that it's been almost a month since i posted anything here. it has been a very insightful month, and that's probably why i've written nothing. through the good grace of finding a celtic daily office from the northumbria community, i found catherine de hueck doherty's poustinia: christian spirituality of the east for western man (notre dame, indiana: ave maria press, 1975) which describes the kind of solitude-in-community that seems to be what i'm trying to do with space i call beatus, and which i now call beatus, an urban poustinia.
