I had the opportunity to go on an eight-day silent retreat this past week. Turning off all devices and unplugging really helps me to be with God and my inner self in a deeper way. There were over 40 other people on retreat, all of us held by the shared silence.
One evening, I came out of the chapel and sat in the lounge to watch the sunset, and the following words came to me:
I felt compelled to bow to the sunset your sunset just as I bow to the tabernacle watching the sun’s slow descent the changes in the sky yellows, pinks, blues is mesmerizing and awe inspiring a sign of your presence and fidelity you who gave us a planet on which we can know that the sun will rise each day what glory, what reassurance You gift it to us anew each day and each night we can rejoice in the beauty of hiddenness because we know new light will come I bow to your sunset.
What calls out to you to bow in awe?
Blessings, Sister Lorraine Réaume
WOW...This beautiful poem is just breathtaking, Lorraine! :) Thank you....I bow in awe to setting and rising suns. :)
