Artist, crafter, diarist, recovering alcoholic, Episcopal,
Catholic, spiritual gypsy. These are some of the ways that Carol
Bonomo has described herself. Like many of her generation, she had
trouble finding a spiritual home. "I'm one of those 'seekers' who
doesn't known what she's looking for, and wouldn't recognize an
answer to the meaning of life if she tripped on it in the dark."
Her spiritual adventures included the Catholic Church, the
Episcopal Church, Alcoholics Anonymous, and her attempt to become a
lay associate of the Franciscans. But the Franciscans sent her
away. "Run, don't walk, to the abbey up the hill, " they advised
her. And so she did, heading to the Benedictine abbey she was
pointed to. Much to her surprise, there she found the home she'd
been seeking for so long.
The Abbey Up the Hill is Bonomo's reflection on her first year
as a Benedictine oblate -- a lay person vowing to live according to
the 6th century Rule of St. Benedict, a monastic guide to living a
balanced life with God at the center. Month-by-month, she records
her spiritual growth with honesty, humor, and insight. This is the
unforgettable story of a pilgrim's struggles to leave off wandering
and finally come home.
