RE: Illuminated Manuscripts at the Getty Museum Took Me Back to the Book of Kells (and Had Me Briefly Considering a Vow of Chastity)
Their work offers a glimpse into their way of life and belief system which was definitely interesting; but to dedicate my life to sit behind closed doors would have been torture for me. The world is too much of an interesting place to explore in our times :) maybe in those days the commonplace violence and hardships of travel made a monastic life more appealing.
In the end, I agree with you. That life would not be for me, either. Full respect, though!
