The sun comes pouring in at the wide, open classroom win- dows, dappled a little by the tall, red berried firethorn (pyracantha, Br. Maurus the Dutch-born gar- dener monk, calls them), and by the first pink rose of summer, high on a climbing vine. Sounds, too, comie faintly in at the window—the ever busy robins working the rolling expanse of lawns, song sparrows in the border shrubs, and blue-green swallows cutting arabesques in the sky, and twittering excitedly under the red- tiled eaves of the student dorm and classroom block, while the muf- fled roar of the tractor mower comes faintly from the playing field and the driveway approaches. The boys were playing softball and bocce ball there yesterday, but so far off that it looked something like a silent dream sequence. When I looked again, a few min- utes later, the game had concluded and the players were a cluster of dark heads in the man-made *Mary Lake’ at the foot of the field between the maple wood and the ‘Out Lady grotto’. The white Charlais cattle, grazing on the rich green slope beyond, ignored the intruders completely. The sense of joy in the morning begins early here (the monks are singing Lauds at 5:15 a.m.) and the ten dth of The Castlegar Sun Advertorial A better new ‘old’ location — Coboe Insurance Charlie Cohoe Shery!

The quiet of the spirit is palpable. Yesterday, I took the grade ten boys on a short field trip to the cliff which marks the boundary of the Abbey’s 200 varied acres: Our path led through the open maple wood lit with rhododendrons of every colour, and a plant variety to make any botany teacher green with envy, while the rolling terrain and gravely subsurface speak loudly of the retreating glacier of some twenty thousand years ago—“only an eye blink,” I assured the boys, “on the geologic time scale”.

A day or two ago, after classes, I decided to go down to the Abbey farm, and to the studio where Fr. Dunstan has just com- pleted his three free standing stat- ues for the Annunciation of the Viggin. I took the short cut over the playing field, through the hay meadow, and finally to the doors of the studio. They are closed and there is no Fr. Dunstan. He is probably working frantically on the last pages of script of his com- mercially produced film on St. Benedict—of which more later.
