Why Gannet? Why Search the Sea?
- Gannet Girl
- 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.
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.
have a wonderful retreat! fabulous photo
