I used to visit, on a regular basis, the Guest House at Mt St Bernard Abbey near our home to spend time by myself in contemplative prayer and reflection, reading and drawing.
I have also gone away in my campervan for a week or longer of solitude.
I sometimes find myself inspired to do pencil drawings, perhaps to explore ideas or feelings, or as a way of praying.
These links take you to some of my reflections, drawings and posts, which I will add to from time to time, on the following themes (the most recent first):
