The unknown is what is.  And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that.  Unknown is what is.  Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain sailing.    John Lennon

We are starting into a series of Mondays looking into RECOVERING ABUNDANCE:  12 practices for small-town (ordinary) leaders.  You can browse and buy the book here
 https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/58778793-recovering-abundance
and it is also available on Amazon, Walmart and at Fortress Press in paperback and Kindle editions.

A week ago, 15 of us gathered on Zoom to look at the Introduction (click here) and the overall contents of the book.  We decided to continue, with different people offering to guide us on different practices.  We're gathering at 6:00 pm (Central time) on Mondays starting on October 3.  We'll meet via Zoom for an hour and a half or so.  Interested?  Join us.  We'll do a bit of a reprise to get the big picture.  Then we will dive into Ch. 1:  The Practice of Retreat. Ruth Gilbert is our guide.  The author, Andy Stanton-Henry,  will be with us again.  Here is his website:  Recovering Abundance<https://recoveringabundance.com/>

A few excerpts from this first chapter:

Come with my by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.  Mark 6:31

Have you ever been so caught up in "coming and going" that you didn't have "leisure even to eat"?

Sometimes, though, our weariness has nothing to do with manual labor.  It has to do with the emotional labor . . .Ordinary leaders have all manner of "lavbors of love" that occupy their minds, break their harts and demand their energy.

C. S. Lewis observed in the first half of the twentieth century that "we live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.  Still very true.
