I genuinely echo these words from Chris Erdman … my mind is brought back in time to one of my first quiet retreats with David and Joyce Hugget more than 8 years ago, I really treasure the gift of solitude, space and silence there which I’m more than ready and open to recieive it once again.

Amidst a busy time I am needing to find some sabbath space where ever I can find it. I must let the mind find its contemplative place in order to have anything worth saying, anything worth doing. For without the quiet, speaking becomes a mere clatter of words, and actions become pushes and prods.

For this very reason, I look forward to returning to STM for DNA. There’s a certain ‘restful’ atmosphere to it all.
It’s been a hectic year!
