James sat quietly on his porch swing, gazing out at the tranquil garden as Thalia sat down beside him. "You know," he began, "I spent a year or so in a monastery when I was in my early twenties." He paused for a moment before continuing, "It was quite an experience. It taught me to find peace within myself and seek answers to life's questions through introspection rather than external sources."

Thalia leaned against the porch railing, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Why did you leave?" she asked.

James smiled wistfully. "Well," he began, "my draft status was 1-A, so instead of finding myself in the jungles of Vietnam or the Marines, I enlisted in the Air Force. They sent me to Japan." He paused for a moment before adding, "It was quite an experience too. The discipline and structure were something else entirely from what I had experienced at the monastery, but it taught me valuable lessons about responsibility and dedication that have stayed with me throughout my life."

Thalia nodded thoughtfully, taking in all of James' words. She admired his calm demeanor and the depth of his experiences, both within the walls of a non-theistic monastery and beyond them in the Air Force. It was clear to her that there was much more to this man than met the eye.
