i wonder if it’s possible for women to become buddhist monks. just because, i’d really like to go join a monastary for a year. just leave life behind, learn what they have to teach me, live simple for a year, and then come back to life with a new perspective on things. shave my head. i think it would be really interesting and a great experience. was thinking about when mom and i stopped at the monastery in woodstock ny after our hike to overlook mountain house. i’d like to go there, not to like, the abbey near geneseo and make bread with the monks. *edit* well the place in woodstock has a 3 year 3 month meditative retreat…3 years is a long time tho…

anyway.
