I'm going to be off for awhile, I'm taking a break and heading to the rugged coast of Maine, my "home away from home". I'll catch up with everyone when I return.
Most often my method is a simple attention to God combined with a general sense of hunger for God. I find myself often attached to God with the great sweetness and delight of an infant at the mother's breast. I hesitate to use the expression, but the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there is as if I were at the bosom of God at all times. Sometimes my thoughts wander away from God by necessity or infirmity. But soon an inner desire brings me back to God. This inward yearning is so delightful and delicious that I am ashamed to describe it.

Get it? Rest your laurels? As in, sit down? But "laurels," you know? Flower? Because it's a garden? Because it's a double entendre?
Times like this, I have to assume I only amuse myself.
Only a few hours to go and we have a long weekend here in the UK. After a hectic month I've never been so excited about having 3 days off! Monday is known as the 'late summer bank holiday' and it typically involves lots of rain, wind, and turning on the central heating....but maybe we'll be lucky this year!
Not much to say about the photo...just a dandelion on the ground in the garden....simplicity.
Enjoy the weekend whatever you're doing :)

These big black-browed albatrosses are know as long-distance fliers, soaring effortlessly over the ocean in the search of food. But when they are sitting on a nest, as this one is, they will routinely tuck their bills into their back feathers and rest for a while.
Parents will take turns on the nest while the other heads out to feed and gather food for the chick (if the egg has hatched).
