Observations While Working at a Retreat Center
I am in the room during a prayer service, looking in on community and devotion through the sacristy’s stained glass window.
Dead Things
Death is all over the ground. How beautiful, how nourishing. There is a richness to the layers of fallen things that coat the soil, making their way back to the roots underground.
