our final retreat was such a sweet time, as we talked of re-entry and the pains and joys of discovering that being outside our comfort zones, our cultures, our economic safety changes and moves us. we feasted with a grand company of irish brothers around their monastic table, that always seemed to fit one more. even in 24 hours of reflection i rediscovered that silence and being is where my sustanance lies. that my first call is and will always be to jesus.
and as this holiday season unfolds i'll take a long breath, and set my hands to the plow, and begin to discover a new season and tune my ears to hear what a new year will hold and how intimacy can shape my heart.
i want to leave you today with my team's thoughts and reflections from the last four months, here are their blogs in the case you would want to catch a glimpse from a fresh pair of eyes, freshly broken hearts.
