"A quietness was in the room while he spoke. Laura felt as if she were hot, dry, dusty grass parching in a drought, and the quietness was a cool and gentle rain falling on her.
It truly was a refreshment.
Everything was simple now that she felt so cool and strong,
and she would be glad to work hard and go without anything she wanted herself,
so that Mary could go to college."

humility
quiet attentiveness
a gentle coming alongside
less ME
careful not to hinder
not inserting myself between my child and the Holy Spirit
joy & peace
seeking strengths vs. a focus on weaknesses
letting go
grace
These seemed to be my recurring themes from this weekend's Living Education Retreat as I look back over my notes and listen to what is still resonating within.
The friends new and old, the shared ideas, the atmosphere-- all full of beauty.
I think I'll have more to say about what I learned... later.
