Retreat

Today is a quiet day for me; I am "in retreat". At least once a month each sister spends one day in quiet reflection, mixed perhaps with a bit of physical labor to keep the body tuned. Today I finally covered my windows with plastic to keep the cold and wind from stealing heat from the house. A minor bit of work in service of Mother Earth.

The sky is painfully blue today, so Bob is stretched out in the afternoon patch of sunlight on the bed. I, too, am going to stretch a bit, though not to snooze and purr. I will practice a new form of meditation for awhile, a new path to keep me connected to the One.

Ah, blessed retreat ...
