What an excellent topic... and you all have such beautiful and realistic thoughts on the enclosure. I agree with all of you. I think the concept of "the enclosure" is so big ... each of you have touched on a beautiful aspect of it: it's home, it's the heart of the Church, it's the intimate place to be with Christ, it's the rough desert...[/quote] One of the great things, I think, about enclosure - whether it's a total one for contemplatives or partial for actives - it's a concept which is indeed so very broad and rich in meaning, with many different facets. Yet all this theorizing (for most of us) can only go so deep - perhaps living a (to some extent) cloistered life is the gateway to understanding it even better. Isn't it great that this very abstract matter becomes a very concrete source of grace for those blessed enough with such a vocation?
