Gabriela Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Amazing, moving, inspiring story: Six years ago, Mount Angel Abbey's serene hilltop campus shook, as leather-clad Bobby Love rolled in on his motorcycle. Love removed his helmet revealing pierced ears and a mop of dreadlocks. With tattoos on his hands, arms and neck, he looked like an extra on "Sons of Anarchy" not someone attending a retreat for those who might become Catholic monks.... http://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/life/2014/11/07/mount-angel-abbey-art-museum-brother-andre-love-iconography-icons-benedictine-tattoo/18602733/ Edited November 17, 2014 by Gabriela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Philosopher Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I read it the other day. Kinda reminds me a bit of myself (in the whole "I wanted to be a bohemian artist" sense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
