I hope not all days are This tiring an hopefully I'll sleep all night this time.
A lot happened today. Learned about the structure of SSJE, talked a bit about liturgy, and had another talk later about what we hope to experience. I had a 'duh' moment with that, I realized why I'm here, to find peace- The still small voice of God in the silence, and to test my vocation. I didn't have words for this really, until that conversation.
A couple cool things on a long list, we started 'silent meals' today. There's music and maybe a book read during the meal. At lunch the weirdness almost overtook me, but thankfully I reigned myself in. Dinner I noticed a 'comfort' in the community of the silence, cool eh?
We also got our stalls today- hold your livestock jokes if you will please :)
Our stall is where we sit in choir. We each have an office book with our names on them, and a hymnal. The only service not in there is Eucharist, I cant remember why. Liturgy is different here, not sure if I can explain how but maybe eventually.
We also took a walk today, poured the entire time but Doc and I had raincoats and I survived sans my rain boots, no soggy tennis shoes thanks be to God.
I think that's it in a nutshell. Think we're going to Emmory House tomorrow. Another new adventure.
Night and many blessings to you all.
