Yesterday saw a rather grey January day being unexpectedly brightened, as I headed over to Salisbury; ostensibly to return some library books to the theological college. But of course, once done there - who could resist popping into the Cathedral. Especially just now, when artist Bruce Munro's two magical light installations, Light Shower and Water Towers are on display!
William Pye's beautiful font, ( another happy discovery for me back last autumn) I've found to be a place for quiet reflection, so I was pleased enough to find an excuse to return to Salisbury to see it. And the cathedral creche was still there. Put together with these wonderful son et lumieres, it was as if all my Christmases, or more aptly, Epiphanies had come along at once!
Over the last year I've enjoyed reading Weekend Retreat's blog as she reflects on her experiences visiting a different retreat place each month and feel quite inspired to try something similar. Of course, whilst I don't think upping and offing onc weekend a month would be either possible or practical for me, maybe something like yesterday's trip might be more doable. A kind of Quiet, or even half Quiet Day. A few hours out, not necessarily in conventional retreat places; being open to the unexpected opportunity...that's quite a thought...
