The Nature of it All


although the retreat weekend was filled with activities of various sorts, 
there were plenty of opportunities to slip away,
to wander...  
and infuse myself with the wonders of nature. 











it's a big part of the call to do this for me
and i always get more than i could ever anticipate...
hard to explain, but such a gift.

  4. It looks so beautiful. I am surprised at the reds, even in spring! But it looks so different from the last one.

    So glad you enjoyed your retreat!
