Greetings, my name is Adam.  Thank you for taking interest in my little nook in the multiverse.

I’m currently studying to become a nurse. I'm particular interested in midwifery, gerontology, palliative care, mental health, clinical nutrition and medical ethics.

I'm learning about yoga, martial arts, energy work and depth psychology. I'm particular interested in Raja Yoga, Hapkido, and Mantras (sound concentration).

I'm also involved in the non-profit work and biotechnological research and development dealing with water treatment, as if I wasn't already busy enough.

Everyone is called to be a monk today; every-
one undergoes the desert experience, like it
or not. The call is general. The Western world
is undergoing a deep spiritual experience, and,
so far, not doing too well.

It is this climate of chaos, this desert scene, this
time of disintegration, that can be a grace.
The ancient monks who went out into the desert
found just this experience. Everything they
had known, believed in, had confidence in,
fell apart in that wilderness. Faced with the
onslaught of chaos, they were tempted to
despair, for they found the faith they had was
too weak to sustain so great a demonic up-
surge. Yet, in their distress, they prayed for
faith and faith was given them.

If anything is needed in this hour, it is men
who can understand what is going on there,
can interpret it, manage with it. To be a monk
in this time, then, is really to be the man of
the hour. No man in the Church is more
necessary, more useful. The desert is the monk's
world, and today the world is a desert.
