FCS Journal – Week Six: October 3-9, 2004
I was home sick for most of this week after working Sunday-Monday at
laying down a temporary Chartres labyrinth out of rope for a retreat
at a nearby camp. One of those no energy illnesses. The most important
thing this week comes from the class time and the explanation of
lectio divina. I had heard of lectio for a long time but found that I
had really not been introduced to it. From beginning to practice it
according to the introduction in the class and the handout, I find
that I really like it. It seems to fit my intuitive style of thinking
and reflection. There are already a couple phrases that are making
their home in my mind and heart just from this week. I even found one
of them helping me through one of the first nights of my illness as I
lay awake. I was able to repeat and reflect more on the lectio from
the day. That hasn’t happened in a long time.
