The Whispers of Love Throughout our
daily life there are whispers of love, whispers that tell us we are not
alone, whispers that tell us we are a part of something greater, something
deeper than how things may appear during the hurriedness of daily life.
There are whispers that remind us that every moment of our life, we have been
loved into being, never separated from our deepest nature. They come to
us in expected and at times unexpected ways: watching a beautiful sunset,
hearing a bird’s song, looking into the eyes of a loved one, looking into the
eyes of a stranger. Regardless of the word you use to refer to the
source of these whispers (God, Buddha nature, Tara, Adonai, spirit of life,
and on and on), the calling is the same…to awaken to our true nature.
You are invited to join me, during this one day retreat, to see how we might
listen more fully, through silence, through the experience of the gardens and
views of the West Virginia country side, and through our encounter of each
other. Directions From
Wheeling: Take I-70
East towards Washington PA. Travel about 10 miles, pass the Cabella’s
exit and get off at the Dallas Pike exit. Turn right at the end of
the ramp on to Dallas Pike. Drive 2.5 miles (past J&B bar and
Baptist Church). You will then cross a creek and head up a steep
hill. At the top of the hill turn into the second drive on the left
where you will see a sign for Serenity Meditation Garden. Parking
for the garden is in the fenced area at the top of the hill. You may
park there or along the drive. From Pittsburgh: Expect about an hour
drive. Take I-376 West (Old I-279 South) to I-79 South,
towards Washington PA. At Washington get on I-70 West towards
Wheeling. Cross the state line and take the first exit, Dallas
Pike. Turn left at the end of the ramp on to Dallas Pike, then follow
above. |
