A Retreat Poem
Friday April 21, 2006

I arrived back from Gaia House today, and had a wonderful week’s retreat. I will post a longer, and more in-depth post on the subject of the retreat some time over the weekend or early next week. For the time being, however, I’ll leave you with a poem.

On my previous retreat at Gaia House in October, I found myself writing quite a few poems. This time, I only wrote one. It simply wasn’t a poem-writing kind of retreat for me. But here, for what it is worth, is that one poem. It’s something like a haiku, although I make no claims to it being a particularly good one.

April retreat –
not a single poem
until the train home.
