		<description><![CDATA[Angels there are
Upon and away
Between eternity
And time
They spread their care
Over your sons
Over your daughters
Asleep, adrift
Transporting heaven’s
Gold dust on
Shuttered
Undeserving
eyes.

Nature&#8217;s  welcome
Despite divine assurances that this lengthy retreat would do me good, it was with some apprehension that I settled into the room 212 that would be my home for thirty five days. Air Asia had flown me into Chiang Mai, Thailand, at about eleven plus, and I was glad to be at the Seven [...]]]></description>

You rule over all the nations, and place peoples in all their boundaries.
You set up leaders and You set them down.
We acknowledge Your authority over Singapore too.
Decades ago, You saved us from certain oblivion.
You have protected, guided, nurtured and blessed this nation with peace and plenty.
Your kindness has indeed made us  a blessed [...]]]></description>

Freed from regular work, I have given myself permission to sleep more than I have slept before. When I feel drowsy or tired, I would just go to bed and lie down for a nap. So in addition to my regular sleep I have been sleeping at any hour of the morning, or afternoon [...]]]></description>

Squirrels- bushy tailed ones. There seemed to be several families, including little tots, sliding, waltzing and jetting rapidly without brakes nor care from branch to branch and tree to tree. They were amazing to watch. I found it so relaxing to just sit at the balcony and be entertained by their delightful dances [...]]]></description>

It was the third day of the retreat. Enter the story, my director tells me. Experience the moment, the whole scene.
The passage he gave me was the wedding at Cana.
Tell Jesus how you are feeling and what you need and listen as he speaks in your imagination.
This Ignatian way of meditation took time. [...]]]></description>

The mornings and evenings were lovely and cool and the birds and squirrels always came alive with their song and dance routines. The afternoons were warm but not so humid.

&#8220;Relax, do whatever relaxes and refreshes you. Don’t force the scripture passage to yield anything. Just relax&#8221;. This was the advice my spiritual director [...]]]></description>

With eyes closed and body relaxed, he now repeated in his “innermost heart” a “mantra”. He [...]]]></description>
