To Draw Aside

Posted on June 24, 2020 by Don

This is the Peace garden at The Friars, an ancient Carmelite Priory in Aylesford, Kent. I have often sat in this garden and left through those doors with a perspective far different from the one I came in with. For me, it’s one of those special places we all have, where we find balance, sanity and direction.

Beautiful. A long time ago I went on a retreat at a Carmelite Monastery by the sea in a neighboring town. A wonderful experience.
