Now And Later

Soon we depart to the monastery where the temporal is contemplated in the light of the eternal. There will be American monks visiting from Mount Shasta, a name to conjure with. I will probably think of more points to post about while en route. Maybe this evening. Meanwhile, I trust that recent time travel posts are of interest. Some of the implications emerge while posting.

Kaor, Paul!

I'm sure some mentions were made of Mt. Shasta in Stirling's Emberverse series, but I don't recall where.

Ad astra! Sean

Yes, but not as the site of a monastery. There -is- an extended scene set in a Buddhist monastery, but it's further east and established after the Change.

Kaor, Mr. Stirling!

I remember that at least. Where Rudi and his companions stayed for several months while he recovered from a very bad wound.

I also thought of the Catholic Benedictine monastery at Mt. Angel.

Ad astra! Sean
