We Are Our Own Time Keepers

The subject of time keeps coming up in my conversations with people. I constantly hear that time isn't like it use to be. I know time seems to move quicker as we age. All of us recall those long lazy days of childhood when a day lasted a week and a summer seemed like a lifetime. Now summer starts, we get in a swim or two, and before we know it we are covering our grills and raking up leaves. Christmas, it is here again, but wait, didn't we just pack away last years Holiday Season? There is no question time seems to be racing faster and faster. Our days seem shorter filled with more to do and less time to rest or relax. Our weeks spin into months and then years without our being able to sort out the passing days. It is as if the world is spinning faster and we are simply trying to hold on for dear life! Read more…

My First Experience On
A 24-Hour Retreat
by Ron Murdock

Posted: 12:30 June 15, 2008

Queen's House is a gathering place and oasis in an ever changing world. We are nestled in a quiet corner of Saskatoon on the bank of the South Saskatchewan River.

Going for a 24 hour retreat was something I wanted to do for several months. I wanted to get away from the daily busyness that my life was too involved with. For a short time I wanted to reconnect with my Higher Power and myself. I made an appointment with one of the sisters the Queens House of Retreats in Saskatoon. On that day the sister gave me tour of the building and I was quite impressed with the layout and feel of it. It was arranged that I start my retreat on the next Saturday morning.

To start the day I wanted to be mindful of living in the moment. I thought of what I missed in life by rushing from one activity to another. I took a 15 minute shower and let myself experience the clammy feel roll off my body then felt myself become part of the small and cozy room I was in.

For the rest of the day I had some game plan but pretty well left things open to expect the unexpected. Most of it was spent looking at ways to clear out the dead wood in my life, whether it be old habits or ways of doing things that have outlived its usefullness. One thing that came to mind was not to lower my standards but to loosen my grip on them. It's amazing how much fretting and worrying is lost when this happens.

Even how I approached my meditation practice changed. First I was in a safe place where I could completely relax knowing I would not be disturbed. It gives a person a chance to be filled with positive energy.

I felt saddened as my time at the retreat house wound down. It had helped in putting things into perspective for me. I actually felt cleansed as I headed out into a crisp 20 below Saskatoon day.
