A Benedictine Retreat

The book, Benedict's Way, suggests a schedule for a retreat... (not necessarily in a monastery), in a group or alone.

As I jot down the daily schedule, I can't help but notice it bears some resemblance to my normal day... (Minus midday and evening prayers...): Rise early, read, pray, reflect, write, do creative work, do essential work like laundry, food prep and dishes... Gardening in summer...

(No wonder the simplicity of my daily retirement routine provides a lot of peace.)
