It is great to have the snowy month of January come to a close. February is not dissimilar to January, but towards the end of the week it is projected to be over freezing for several days straight. I can deal with that. Today is Groundhog Day and Punxsatawney Phil has not seen his shadow. Therefore, he is predicting an early spring.
The storom that blanketed the Midwest has not been as bad as expected in New England. Boston has rain; we have frozen sleet. The below freezing temperature tomorrow will make the roads slick, but I am delighted that we have such an increase of daylight. This is the same amount of daylight that we have on November 2nd.
I feel badly for the people of Northeast Australia who are bracing for the Cyclone that is hitting them. They've had too much flooding as it is. I hope this storm is not devastating.
Another 8-day retreat will come to an end tomorrow. On Saturday, the 30-day retreatants end their formal part of their prayer with a few days of faith-sharing afterwards. It has been a very good month.
I am a Jesuit priest of the USA East Province who has an avocation of binding art and creativity to spirituality. I have a SoWa (South End) studio in Boston and I give retreats and spiritual direction using creative techniques to make a person's Ignatian prayer particular and unique. Ignatian Spirituality is the cornerstone of my work; art, poetry, prose is a way to help us get to the heart of conversations in prayer.
