[Judith Anne]

I didn't get through that book, you're to be commended. What happened to me was that I sort of lived through such a "night" and spent a lot of time as a retreatant at a Trappist monastery...the writings of the great mystics were at my disposal, and to my surprise, I saw my very own struggles illuminated by theirs...it didn't make it any easier, and I am certainly no great mystic, but at times, there were friends in the darkness...

Ooohh Trappists! Thomas Merton.... I haven't read him yet but he's on my list!
