Looking back

At the Santa Fe retreat, none of the participants asked me why I attended.

I also did not ask the other participants “how did you know about this RETREAT” or “why did you come here” questions.

I still wonder about it very much.

I wonder if it was the peaceful atmosphere and nature of Santa Fe, where the oldest church in the U.S. stands, that brought people together so naturally, like water flowing from top to bottom, and parted without any promises to meet again.
