On one of my silent retreat, it was explained that silence is not the whole story. So I pray for stillness to be in that silence you have/are entering. May you be open to where the journey takes you. As surprising as that can be.
I just read you news at RevGals. I will be praying for you and your family. I live in Chicago. If you need anything let me know. My email is shawna (at) shawnaatteberry (dot) com. My cell phone number is 312.933.3599.
I just heard Robin - I don't know what drew me back to your blog today, but I am so, so sorry for what you are going through. words cannot express how I feel for you, mother to mother. you will be in my prayers today and always. I am keeping you and your family close in my thoughts.
Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans.
What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

Enjoy! I hope it is refreshing and restorative for you. After your summer - wonderful yet exhausting - you deserve this break.
I hope it's all you're hoping it will be, and then some. And you get away from the nonsense of the election and the stress of storms!
Silence is such a powerful time. Blessings.
Retreat....sounds so nice!
Please enjoy. I hope it is just as uplifting as this photo.
