Am here in Sedona in beautiful Red Rock country. These red rocks rising up out of the land are so beautiful. I find Sedona a very peaceful place with a good energy that is definitely different from the energy in DC and I find the desert a strangely beautiful place. (I also found the Judean wilderness beautiful in Israel.) I will be sure to bring back a red rock or two for our labyrinth.
The weather is of course very hot, but it cools off at night, so the mornings are a good time for hiking.
I attended a Taize service in the Chapel of the Holy Cross this evening, which sits in the middle of the red rocks. It was a great service. I’ve always found Taize services meaningful and it is such a luxury for me to just show up and worship, without worrying about setting up and leading the service.
I will post occasionally on this leg of the trip. I am feeling a need to detach a bit and really rest. So, to quote a young man I know, I will be “off grid” a bit out here. I think it will do my soul good not to have to be so tied to my electronics and the need to communicate to (and be communicated to) immediately and constantly. I’ll post when I feel there is something interesting to relate!
