This blog is mostly sermons, reflections and poetry of a currently retired (as of August 31, 2019) pastor residing in Mattawa/Desert Aire, Washington. An eremite is someone who lives in a wilderness or desert of some kind. I have often lived in remote places. Early Christian eremites lived under the discipline of solitude within the discipline of community. I'm learning how to be simultaneously retired and yet in continued ministry as a Christian in the Body, the Church of Jesus.

Thomas Merton: "Thoughts in Solitude: VI"
First week in September 2022, I came across these lines in Merton's "Thoughts in Solitude: VI" and felt amazed and deeply moved by them.
