Journalist William Claassen calls himself a nomadic pilgrim. His book “Alone in Community: Journeys into Monastic Life Around the World” describes his visits to cloistered communities from various religious traditions around the world.  Claassen tells Jim Fleming what Christian, Buddhist and Sufi monks have in common and says the best way to talk to God is with music and silence.
