Simple Deeds
Mood:  happy
Topic: Saint Benedict

When one is sent on a retreat, it can mean many things to each person.
We all need time to be alone with ourselves; even if it is the last thing we want to do.

This retreat of mine took place in vermont ONE month before 9/11
As a matter of fact it 8/11 when I went in for moorning prayer. The sun had yet to rise and I could only think of how beautiful my surroundings were. I was noticing how the moon was sailing along as I walked the path. How hushed all things were and that no one else on the entire planet was where I was at this time.
How quickly I forgot this quiet in just a month.
That is why we must be in the present and not really think that the busy world is the most important world. All we must do is look back and see how quickly man's dreams fall away.
