retreat to be silent here invites solace to visit while the mind's winds calm again comes resolve to unravel mystery in silence to see then comes the moment that seeking wants an anchor the cease of drifting finding in silence a spiritual direction attending whispers distant cumulous rising st francis now free of snow

on the first sunday of lent, 25 of us went out to the mt st francis retreat centre at cochrane for an afternoon of silence and contemplation.
