what’s it worth?

On May 24, 2005 / By maggi dawn / Reply

I’ll be dashing back from evensong-drinks-dinner tonight to catch the last episode of the wonderful monks of Worth and their visitors. My money’s on the blond one. Meet God? I think he just might…

    That was one of the most powerful bits of TV I think I’ve ever seen.

    One of the best things I’ve seen on TV for a long time. It is interesting how all of the group where changed by the experience and how some of them are still in contact with the monks. I notice on the web site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/monastery/)that Big Tony’s story is due to appear after the broadcast of Programme 3 so it should be there any time now.

    Oops – missed a space out; the link is, of course, http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/monastery/

    Maggi, can I ask you a question? (I’ll assume the answer to that question is yes…)
    What do you mean by ‘meet God’?

    Hugh, it’s not ready yet. :-(
    Ruthie, can I answer for Maggi? Well, it’s a very undescribable moment that I think I felt once in the Hindu monastery I was in in America, and then a few times in the Chapel here. I found I realised: who I am, but that God is here/there too, and that the world is… um… like a moment of joy? Or a spider’s web with dew on it early morning? It was odd and a bit hard to describe.

    better still, Ruthie – go see Tony’s story here
    http://www.worthabbey.net/bbc/tony.htm
    and let him tell you

    Just followed Maggi’s link and read Tony’s story. Beautifully written and very moving. I found only one foolish thing there: Tony wrote “THE END”
    No Tony, I rather suspect that it’s only just beginning…

    Very special…I kind of felt uncomfortable watching (the way you do when you’re on the altar side of a couple exchanging their vows) and had to keep reminding myself that this was supposed to be viewed! Having missed episode 1 and had 2 recorded but not yet found time to watch, do I now go back to the middle of the story having watched the end of the beginning? What do you think, folks?

    watch ‘em, K! If nothing else, you are sorely in need of an hour or two with your feet up. Persuade yourself it’s essential research for the job… ;)
