Learning Stability and Rootedness Through a Community of Monks

Today Heather talks to Michael O'Brien. Michael earned a Government/Theology degree from the University of Notre Dame. Attended law school at the University of Utah and is a catholic writer and lawyer who lives here in Salt Lake City.  After reading his book, Monastery Mornings, it made sense to me to have him along for a conversation about stability and rootedness. In his early adolescence he found an unlikely family in the company of monks at Holy Trinity Abbey, in the mountains of Huntsville, Utah. Struggling with his parents' recent divorce, this community of people helped him to develop the practices of stability and rootedness in a time of instability in his life.
