Day of R.E.S.T. tomorrow

Hi everyone,

 

I am so looking forward to our day-away tomorrow.

 

A reminder that we hope to leave from behind Sarah’s by 7.30am sharp. There will be water and girl scout cookies to share on the ride to Bon Secours. We aim to get there for breakfast at 9am. Our first gathering with Andrea will begin at 10am so we will have plenty of time for a leisurely breakfast and give ourselves time to catch our breath and let our spirits catch up with our bodies :)

Here is a blessing as we prepare for our pilgrimage

Peace on the journey, I look forward to traveling with you

Rosie

                                    Blessing for the Traveler

Every time you leave home,

another road takes you
into a world you were never in.

When you travel,

a new silence
goes with you,
and if you listen,
you will hear
what your heart would
love to say.

A journey can become a sacred thing:

make sure, before you go,
to take the time
to bless your going forth,
to free your heart of ballast.

So that the compass of your soul
might direct you toward
the territories of spirit.
Where you will discover
more of your hidden life,
and the urgencies
that deserve to claim you.

May you travel safely, arrive refreshed,

and live your time away to its fullest;
return home more enriched, and free
to balance the gift of days which call you.

John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us
