"Trappist" is a word in ENGLISH
A monk belonging to a branch of the Cistercian Order,
which was established by Armand de Rance in 1660 at the monastery of La
Trappe in Normandy. Extreme austerity characterizes their discipline.
They were introduced permanently into the United States in 1848, and
have monasteries in Iowa and Kentucky.
For everything sacred has the substance of dreams and memories, and so we experience the miracle of what is separated from us by time or distance suddenly being made tangible.

A man learned shortly before quitting time that he had to attend a meeting. He tried unsuccessfully to locate his car-pool members to let them know that he would not be leaving with them. Hastily he scribbled a message to one fellow and left it on his desk: "I have a last-minute meeting. Leave without me. Dave." At 7:00 p.m., the man stopped at his desk and found this note: "Meet us at the bar and grill across the street. You drove today, you idiot."
