retreat

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~Henry David Thoreau, 1854

We live in a very tense society. We are pulled apart... and we all need to learn how to pull ourselves together.... I think that at least part of the answer lies in solitude. ~Helen Hayes


Horray for our celebration of solitude & silence.
We are leaving for a Friday-Sunday getaway retreat at a friends' cabin outside of South Park. We will be silent all of Saturday to teach ourselves the disciple of discovering God's voice in the quiet... of slowing ourselves down... and letting the noise of the world disappear for awhile.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SARAH HOOVER, Sept 13!
