Thank you for your comment @alexdory.
Indeed, deep thinking requires being undisturbed and not just for a day but for a long time. An impossibility in today's hectic life. There are many things that we withhold from ourselves through our lifestyle. Sad but true.
At least visiting places like this monastery can give us a sense for what we are missing.
And yes, I knew the kittens would be irresistible :D
Cheers!
