It's a retreat stupid!

I wasn't really sure why I'd chosen to go to New York. I needed to go somewhere different, Central Asia didn't work out and so why not. This morning everything became clear. What happens in a retreat? You get lots of time on your
own to think about things, read and pray. You leave behind day to day stuff in order to try and gain a wider perspective. You engage in regular worship. I've done all that and more today Even my small but comfy room has a retreat feel to it

OK this retreat begins in a diner and ends at Starbucks, but hey I'm not going to let that detract from it.
