Our community is in the midst of our semi-annual spiritual retreat.  What a beautiful gift to give oneself, to take time in this busy season to direct one's attention inward to the matters of the soul and of love.  When the soul is fed, all of life takes on deeper meaning and lightness and the beauty of our nature arises like the summer sun to bring life and growth to all we do and everyone we meet.  Turn now and think on these things.  Ask your soul what it wants from you and how it would order your life.  The soul is the part closest to God and can shine your truest self into your life in a way that will surprise and delight you.  Blessings as you grow and blossom!
