Retreat

I went on a retreat the past weekend.
One moment summarized the whole experience.
We set out into the night at 11PM.
our goal was to set up a bonfire in the fields.
our cottage was at the end of a long forest trail.
so as we walked through the road that was plowed down between the woods.
we looked above and saw countless stars between the trees.
we were looking at the same sky we had in the city.
where stray lights from street lamps and store fronts blocked out the stars set by God.
I have never seen a sky so beautiful and peaceful.
In the same way, I saw God more clearly than ever when I got rid of all the other pollutions in my life.
I am so safe. Guided by the same God who guided the stars in the sky to where they should be.
