Harriet's heart ached deeply for them all as she watched the Jersey marshes from the car window a few hours later. The poor little pretty girls, gallantly soaking their small hands in dishwater and lye, eager over the church production of "Robin Hood" and a picnic with Uncle David at Asbury! Josephine was to be a stenographer when she finished High School, and little Julia had expressed an angelic ambition to teach a kindergarten class some day. Nina, at their ages, had had her pony, her finishing school, her little silk stockings, and her monogrammed ivory toilet set, her trip to England and France and Italy with her mother and brother and grandmother. ...

Why, everyone has some alternative, Cherry pleaded. "It can't be that marriage is the only--the only irrevocable thing! If you had a partner that you couldn't go on with, you could come to SOME agreement! You could make a sacrifice, but somehow you could end the association! Peter," she said, earnestly, "when I think of marketing again--six chops and soup-meat and butter and baking powder--I feel sick! When I think of unpacking the things I've washed and dusted for five years--the glass berry bowl that somebody gave us, and the eleven silver tea-spoons--I can't bear it!" ... Read more

That was quite right, dear, Mrs. Haviland said to her oldest daughter, calmly ignoring the implied question, and to Isabelle she added kindly: "M'ma doesn't quite like to hear you calling a young man you hardly know by his first name, Isabelle. Of course, there's no harm in it, but it cheapens a girl just a LITTLE. While Charlotte might do it because she is older, and has seen Charlie Gregory at some of the little informal affairs last winter, you are younger, and haven't really seen much of him since he went to college. Don't let M'ma hear you do that again." ... Read more

Julia, laying her underwear neatly over a chair, was struck by the enormity of the task she had undertaken. A great blight of utter discouragement swept over her--she never could do it! Her mother-- all her kin--seemed to take shadowy shape to menace this little haven she had found. Chester--suppose he should find her! Suppose Mark should! Sooner or later some one must discover where she was. ... Read more

But Bert had his own ideas. When Nancy met him down town a day or two later, to go pick the coat, she found him quite unmanageable. He said that there was no hurry about the coat--they were right here in the housekeeping things, why not look at fireless cookers? In the end they bought an ice-cream freezer, and a fireless cooker, and two pairs of arctic overshoes, and an enormous oval- shaped basket upon which the blushing Nancy dropped a surreptitious kiss when the saleswoman was not looking, and a warm blue sweater for Nancy, and, quite incidentally, an eighteen- dollar overcoat for Bert. ...

Editorial Review

Book Description
A fellow writer's response of his reading-journey through the work, bothprose and poetry, of Kathleen Norris, author of the best selling TheCloister Walk. As in his other books, Walking with Thomas Mertonand Walking with Henri Nouwen, Robert Waldron has devoted threeseasons (spring, summer, fall) to reading the prose and poetry of KathleenNorris.

Norris is a major commentator on modern spirituality. This is thefirst full-length commentary on her work to be published. In order to getto know her, the author carefully read her work and responded to it in adaily journal. He chose the journal format because of its intimacy,allowing for spontaneity and quicksilver insights. The journal format alsopermits the reader a glimpse into the author's soul-scape and will inspirereaders of this book to read Norris's work; especially her best sellingbook, The Cloister Walk. Waldron considers this to be one of themajor spiritual autobiographies of the twentieth century, to be ranked withThomas Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A TRUE TO LIFE FAITH WALK -
This was one of the best books I've ever read.It's beautiful, poetic walk through the spiritual lives of monks and a regular woman seeking to define her faith in a real, honest way made for a journey I did not want to end.This will stay on my "keep" bookshelves and copies will be purchased for friends and relatives who want to experience faith in a real way.It speaks for and against traditional religion and cuts right to the heart.

5-0 out of 5 stars Message from author
I am the author of Walking with Kathleen Norris, as well as Walking with Thomas Merton and Walking with Henri Nouwen.Thank you for all the postitive feedback on my new book via my website.To answer the commonest question, I am not at this time able to conduct retreats.But again, thank you for your support.

Walking with Kathleen Norris: A Contemplative Journey
By Robert Waldron

Walking with Kathleen Norris: A Contemplative Journey is Robert Waldron's third volume in the "Walking with" series published by Paulist Press. His book examines the interior journey of award winning poet and writer Kathleen Norris. Waldron spent three seasons with Norris, reading and contemplating her poetry and prose. He employs a journal format to share his insights about Norris' search for a way to come home to self and to connect with the Infinite.

Although not raised in the Catholic tradition, Norris eventually embraced Benedictine spirituality and has found her spiritual home.Norris came to a deeper acceptance of her self by engaging and embracing her shadow-self.She did so by attending to lectio divina (holy reading), the daily reading and praying of the Church's cycle of psalms.It is in the psalms that Norris came to know, accept and lovingly embrace her own humanity. Norris also reminds us of the importance of making time to be fully present to the beauty that surrounds us daily.She manages to carve out time in her busy schedule for attending and contemplating, while remaining fully engaged in an active life.

Norris is very much attuned to the need in all of us for solitude and quiet. Her spiritual process entails going within to that still place where she can encounter the omnipotent one, just as she is. Waldron has captured Norris the poet, the writer, the mystic, the seeker in all of her human being-ness.Waldron identifies with Norris' yearning for peace and solitude within a communal setting, yet he does so while remaining in the world, carrying on with life's mundane chores.

Waldron and Norris, members of the baby boomer generation have both been spiritual wanderers.They have both struggled mightily to make sense of a chaotic world. Their spiritual journeys have led them to look within to find meaning, serenity and grace.

5-0 out of 5 stars a special walk
I was introduced to Kathleen Norris a few years back.I started with the Cloister Walk and was so caught up in her view of seeking faith that I just continued on with her two other works.I am not a poetry person, but Mr. Waldron, along with enticing me back for a second read of the Cloister Walk and Dakota, will send me on a search of her poetry.I will take to heart his recommendations which to choose as I thoroughly enjoyed his walk thrue the seasons.I am from the area of which he writes and could place myself in his three season journey.It was very enjoyable reading and I hope to be reading him again
