I’m spending some time today collecting and connecting my thoughts from the previous week.  I’ve been in a learning circle at Calling Lakes Retreat Centre in Saskatchewan.  Such a beautiful spot set apart from the bustle of the world.

We are not in isolation but rather in community.

In the stillness of the Sabbath I feel the presence of the divine all around me.

In the stillness of the day I hear the presence of the divine all around me.

I see God’s hands in creation; in the beauty of this flower.

The birds, the green growth and the rain as it nourishes and cleanses, are all part of what I see.

In the faces of new friends here.  In their smiles, their tears, and in learning of their call.

In the stories that each bring I am witness to the movement of the Spirit through out.

I am truly blessed.

What do you see, hear or feel in the stillness of today?
