On retreat

Today is a spacious place
Today is peaceful
Slower of pace
Today there is time to sit and be
Today there is room to be me

A chance to get to know You better
A brother; a friend
Not some distant being
A father; a mother
Not some amorphous other

You are my beloved
And I am yours

Today is a spacious place

He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me (Psalm 18)
You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place (Psalm 31)
When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place (Psalm 118)
