I spent a weekend at a 1920's Jesuit Novitiate in Silence...what a gift...I only wish it could have lasted a little longer.
my loving friend Hannah made me these mittens which embraced me in warmth as I journeyed through deep snow on long walks

- Prayers and Sayings of the Mad Farmer "Sowing the seed, my hand is one with the earth. Wanting the seed to grow, my mind is one with the light. Hoeing the crop, my hands are one with the rain. Having cared for the plants, my mind is one with the air. Hungry and trusting, my mind is one with the earth. Eating the fruit, my body is one with the earth." ~wendell berry~

Glad to hear this was the reason I couldn't find you anywhere... I spent the weekend quite differently- running after two wild children. Think maybe now I could really use a silent retreat too. :) Would love to hear about it soon! And now you are up to your belly button in Baltimore snow??
Is that second photo at Wernersville or is that your apartment? Have you been able to dig out of the snow in Baltimore?
oh katie, this is lovely --- i'm so glad you were able to go despite the snow. i was thinking of you.
