The manifold lives of nuns
Once, while riding the train, I sat next to a nun reading the Bible. She wore a religious habit, with her arms covered up to her wrists, legs pressed close, eyes focused downwards. Maybe she loved the man in the book. And maybe there was no real difference between her love and my love for…
