In Praise of the Useless Life Audiobook
16.45$
The humble peace and simplicity of the monastery and of Quenon’s daily life are beautifully portrayed in this memoir. Whether it be through the daily routine of the monastery, his love of the outdoors no matter the season, or his lively and interesting conversations with visitors (reciting Emily Dickinson with Pico Iyer, discussing Merton and poetry with Czeslaw Milosz), Quenon’s gentle musings display his love for the beauty in his vocation and the people he’s encountered along the way.
Inspired by his novice master Merton, the poet and photographer’s stories remind us that the beauty of life can best be seen in the ‘uselessness’ of daily life-having a quiet chat with a friend, spending time in contemplation-in our vocations, and in the memories we make along the way.
