A Trip Away to within

I have just returned from a three day retreat at St. Edmunds Center on Enders Island in Mystic, CT. It was truly a wonderful restful and relaxing way to spend a weekend. The solitude and tranquility of the sun the surf and the spirit was a short glimpse of Nirvana. Even though this Catholic place put it's emphasis on the Catholic faith it was a place where all people of all faiths or non beliefs can come and be one with the universe. I was and am grateful for this experience and Just for today

I will not Worry

I will be Happy

I will be Honest


I will Honor All

I will be Grateful

  2. WOW...sounds wonderful, Dave!

    Welcome back!

    oooo...Mystic, Ct - I've never been, but from what I've seen in photographs, it looks like a place that I would really enjoy.

    Don't you feel great when you return from a retreat? There's a place in Aston,PA that is also based on the Catholic faith (but open to all faiths). It's run by Franciscan nuns - lovely place!
