I just want to thank you for a gift you gave me this year, and not too long ago, when you called yourself an "urban monk." I decided this morning that I too am an urban monk, and that New York City must therefore be my "Abbey." ((-:
these are so beautiful, christine! it's funny, but i thought you were already on a "break" because my feedreader had not shown any of your recent posts until this morning when three (this and the ones before and after) showed up.
you are indeed a gift to all who visit here and know you!!! xoxoxoo
Christine Valters Paintner is a teacher with the extraordinary gift of drawing out of you that which is already present. She writes and teaches with an exceptional sensitivity to all that resides in the human heart. You will be blessed by her artistic and monastic soul as she gives wings to that within you that is ready to fly.
…..and Christmas greetings and many thanks to you Christine for your words and images this Advent season, from Orlando.
Merry Seattle Christmas Christine!

Thank you everyone.
kigen, I love that my "urban monk" comment gave you permission to claim that for yourself! NYC makes a great Abbey!
