The Nature of Constant Movement
Nun:
Do you like traveling from one place to the next all the time?
Gelsomina:
That's how his work is.
Nun:
We travel around too. We change convents every two years. This is my second.
Gelsomina:
Why?
Nun:
So we don't get too attached to the things of this world. You grow fond of where you live, even of a a plant. You risk forgetting your most important attachment, which is to God. So you see, we both travel. You follow your husband and I follow mine.
