last year in french

we had to answer each other's questions during a conversing exercise and someone's question was
"would you rather be a celebrity or a monk?"
and the older i get the more i know i would choose monk if i was ever seriously asked that question.
there is something so beautiful about a life spent in contemplative communion with God.
i know that you don't have to be a monk to live like that, but it seems like a really good excuse to just sit around talking to God all the time.
