My "cloistered brothers" have a saying, "Don't let the time use you. You use the time."
It would be so easy to do nothing all day except eat and nap. Some do. But the smart ones "use the time." They finish their high school diploma, get a college degree, learn a musical instrument, learn a language, get religion. Lucky ones get a job. Most make a schedule and try to keep it. Such is the life of a "cloistered brother."
You would think that we on the outside would have no problem with time. Some don't have enough time to do all the things they need to do. It's the opposite problem of the "cloistered brother." They are "letting the time use them." AND THEY'RE ON THE OUTSIDE!
They have so much to do that time governs their lives. They have no time for themselves. Not even time to pray.
Tick, tock...tick, tock.
