I read “Way of a Pilgrim,”when I was 16-17. At the time I was like a sponge for God and the things of God. Then and now it seemed too simple, yet not. The book is long gone. I reordered it. It really is about discipline isn’t it? The contemplative life has always fascinated me, especially the Benedictines. Read anything by Kathleen Norris?

I'm glad to hear you've reordered it, Kate! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The name Kathleen Norris sounds familiar but I can't say I've read anything by her. When you say it is about discipline, I think I have to agree...and a little bit of hunger. Or a lot. It is simple, but not easy.
