The Grotto
June 13th, 2009 by Wayne (Wirs)
I had never been to The Grotto before – never even heard of it before yesterday. As it turned out, it is place of retreat for friars and nuns of the Servite Order within the Catholic Church. Very peaceful place. I wasn’t struck dead by lightning or anything, which quite frankly kind of surprised me.
Seriously though, if you’re in the area, stop by. It’s a very peaceful place for reflection.

This scene reminds me of our natural pace – In her Book Guinilla Norris – Inviting Silence…guides us to
“Study the waves wash onto the shore, or the way rings float out on a lake. When the pebble splashes through the surface, moving without apparent effort. There is an organic pace to this; we too have an organic pace.
Silence can help us feel it.
Looks like a perfect space for meditating!

You might expect an unannounced visit from THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope…. Our *four*…I’ll come in again.
Hmm. It was a lot funnier when I was a kid. Stay with it until the end though, when everyone looks toward the door expecting the Spanish Inquistion.
