Yellow Bird: A visit to the Sacred Heart Monastery
Tuesday, April 19, 2005
"This weekend I took a long drive to southwestern North Dakota. My destination was the Sacred Heart Monastery in Richardton, N.D.
No, I have not decided to become a Catholic nun.
On my excursion, there were hundreds of signs of spring; the prairie is coming alive. When I reached Devils Lake, there was open water - the first I'd seen since the lake iced over in November."
