Thomas Merton said that we must continually be converted, and we take up this theme of holy alchemy during this special mini retreat. We’ll reflect and pray with selections by Roethke, Naomi Shihab Nye, Rumi, and Mary Oliver – poems that will forever enrich your life. With Robert Francis, we’ll open up to a Summons – “Keep me from going to sleep too soon/ Or if I go to sleep too soon/ Come wake me up.” Hear the soul’s entreaty to wakefulness!
