Choices through the Sea of Life is a story about a young man who grew-up in Maine after WWII and wrestled with the core values to navigate through the labyrinth of life. From MUG, midshipmen under guidance, in a merchant marine academy to becoming a monk in a Benedictine Monastery, life became a struggle to sort out his values. The endless harassment through indoctrination to firefighting school and officer qualifying examinations, discipline was key to the academies life. Shipping the seas to Africa opened his eyes and heart to a different way of life. The contemplative life in a monastery unraveled many more choices and many more questions. No matter which path we choose in life, our faith is the beginning foundation to build and nurture a life of meaning.
