I was thinking of your first Glendalough day with not a little envy as I made my way home yesterday.

What a wonderful few days we had together. An adventure for sure!! I was reading in my book "Red Haired Girl from the Bog" that we should never tell another's story, so I'll say no more about the more, er, interesting parts of our adventure.

Thank you for being such a wonderful travelling companion, and my love to Christine.

Enjoy the noble silence...

The noble silence sounds wonderful to me. I've found those times, only a few that I've experienced on silent retreats, to be extraordinarily peaceful and mind expanding. Hope you are enjoying them. Your Phil Coussineau quotes are wonderful!
