As I approach my 2nd CPE unit, I'm aware of the strain - theological, psychological, even physical - that goes with such an intense course. In preparation, therefore, I've decided to spend 3 days far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and in a quiet, remote place. The aim: to seek God in silence and simplicity.
So earlier this afternoon I took the 256 from Georgia/Granville to the Horseshoe Bay Ferry terminal. Then I took the ferry, destination Bowen Island. Then, finally, I took the long treck up the road, towards Rivendell. I was about 1/3 of the way up, when a kind soul driving up the road saw me lugging my big backpack and and had mercy on me. Thank you Lord! She dropped me off at the front entrance, and I had just enough time to drop off my stuff in my room and then run back downstairs for prayer time.
After prayer, I ate dinner, read a little, prayed a little, and then turned myself in for a good night's sleep. Below are pictures of the ferry ride over, and the view from my room.
