An old thread, you put to bed, thought was dead, still in my head.
In one sentence I would say that "Everybody is a nun" means:
Behind our walls everyone is holy.
Now a little commentary on that one sentence, you knew I would have to
pontificate.
Our walls are what we present to most people out in society. They carry
our conformity and conditioning. It's behind these walls that the real self
lives, that the nun lives, and this self, this nun, is sacred, holy. It is
difficult in our daily round to see the holiness of persons because most
often we confront their walls.
DDSBP grows in stature for me with each reading. It effects me like a piece
of great modern art which I think is a fair description of this story.
