Walking in Subiaco

This week has been absolutely beautiful! Walking in Memphis was an interesting song so I decided to throw a hint in that direction with the title "Walking in Subiaco."
I have been at Subiaco Monastery, which is a Benedictine Monastery and boys school. I was there for a clergy "workshop" called Connected In Christ. We learned about how we can better make disciples of Christ, encourage our congregations to do the same, and build friendships that can help us on this journey of faith called life. It was also a great time for walking.
The first morning my friend Tony and I walked around the church and school buildings. Somehow it felt like it was all uphill. I'm sure it wasn't but I got to breathing hard pretty quickly. I can only imagine the monks are in great cardiovascular condition! That afternoon we walked the same route only in reverse direction. It was not all downhill.
The second morning I awoke early enough to join the monks in morning prayers - 5:30 a.m. o'clock in the morning! But, after prayers, I had about 45 minutes for walking before breakfast. It was a beautiful sunrise.
Wednesday we went to Mount Magazine for supper. We got there early so everyone spent some time exploring the mountain and lodge and flora of Arkansas. Tony and I walked down the hill just a bit - maybe 10 minutes. That was enough because it was a steep walk up the hill back to the lodge and restaurant. I left the supper table for a few minutes in order to watch an absolutely superb sunset! Make plans to go to Mount Magazine sometime if for no other reason than to see the sunset.
Thursday I spent time - 20 or 30 minutes - walking around the campus. But, every day (several times a day) I walked up and down a flight of stairs. That was how I got from my sleeping quarters to the conference room.
The week was invigorating and inspiring.
Where and how did you walk this week?
