I can't get away for a week right now, but I'm taking hourly little respites in my house. Closing my door, luxuriating in silence, letting it filter down to my soul. It's not quite like a week, but it's precious and healing nonetheless. I hope you get your retreat one day. :Rambling Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06615148443032981296noreply@blogger.com
