Retreat

With great pleasure I am looking forward to going on a 5 day silent retreat tomorrow with the Benedictine's at their monastery in the tiny village community of Macheke.

Being Zimbabwe there will be no internet and I am looking forward to that kind of silence also.

I have the sense of something beckoning, and hope that with time to be still and silent and reflect it will come more into focus. Then again it may not, I find myself in the hands of the Holy Spirit and wait in openness and with attentiveness. And there is a deep pleasure in that waiting.

So I shall catch up with you all when I return - I shall be a away for another week after the retreat as I am going on holiday for a week afterwards. All in all quite a lot of pleasure in the immediate future.
