The Society of St. John the Evangelist word today is. BE.
A good word as I leave from retreat mode, travel on planes from Santa Fe to Denver, stop awhile, then travel from Denver to Redmond, Oregon, hoping to be in Bend for Jonas’ 3rd birthday hug in the morning.
My retreat Sunday was a glorious day in God’s beauty hiking, drawing, picnicking, labyrinth walking, and celebrating Holy Eucharist with a mountain view.
Packed up, I’m enjoying a final scone and coffee at Iconik in Santa Fe. Last minutes of retreat and quiet being before the delightful grandma shuffle being begins.
Be: Contentment is more about being than about doing, or acquiring, or mastering, or craving, or searching. Contentment is about being satisfied given the limitations of our present life.
