The Seven Fountains

I spent the last few days at a Spiritual Retreat Center run by the Jesuits. It was a really good time.

The first meal was a little awkward. The retreat is a silent one, so there was a room of people sitting eating in silence. It was not immediately obvious how to get food, nor when it was finished was it immediately obvious what I ought to do with my plate.

After the first meal, I loved it! It was so good to step away from busyness. The gardens were good places to sit, read, and pray.
