Although my sabbatical doesn't officially begin until December 1, I have one 2008 Vacation Week that begins this weekend. My last official day in the CRLC office is today. May last Sunday at CRLC is November 23, Christ the King Sunday. I am standing on the brink of a three month span that is more open and unfettered than any three month span I have ever experienced. What a gift....What a blessing.
And I am not missing the call to respond to this blessing as a steward...a steward of time, place, and energy.
I plan to practice a monastic order for my days...although I rarely miss morning prayer time in my ordinary life, during this sabbatical I intend to follow the discipline of "Praying the Hours". That means there will be regular times during the day, nomatter what I am doing, when I will pause to pray with psalms and hymns. This is a practice that fills my days when I am at the Abbey of the Genesee, and it is one that can be incorporated into my Sabbatical Time wherever I am!
I have experienced the feeling of unknowingness many times in my life.... but never as powerfully as now...
I have no idea where I am going....but I am on my way!
