A Retreat outside of the city

[Serena Duvet]

I have been blessed with a retreat outside of the city for a week.

As I spend time in the silence and find peace, in my solitude my

heart finds rest.  Today I venture out into the city to take care

of some things, but return again this evening to my restful sojourn.

Where I am there is Peace.  Here, my view from this haven.  This

photo taken in the spring ~ see the apricot tree blooming.  Now,

though the branches are bare, beauty lies still in the Silence.
