Heh:
I just thought I ought to thank you for turning me onto the film Into Great Silence. I am a massive insomniac. And I get through about 2-3 scenes of the film and I’m out like a light, drug free sleep follows. Yes it is a holy, sacred movie. The film maker does an awesome job. Yes, I have some issues to debate with contemplatives who withdraw from the world, as I do not believe that isolation from the world is the message of the gospels, and in turn leads to the whole celibacy thing. But I do think these men, one way or another, are living a holy life and the cinematic capture of that life is almost hypnotic. As for me, it brings me solace and rest.
