I’m musing over something that just gently happened. To the extent that it seems as if it only waited to happen. It relates very closely with my thoughts in “A life integrated” and “Gateway to heaven” that I wrote earlier. When we started with our newsletter last year, we did it mainly to write about The Restory at Rietfontein, life on the farm, quiet days and the influence of ordinary life on our spirituality. Those matters remain the basic elements for most of the entries on our blog, the latter flowing gradually out of the newsletters. Hence the name Restory News.

The Restory is a Retreat Centre nestled against Tafelkop, a singular mountain head near Wakkerstroom, South Africa. Here we live a simple life as contemplatives.

We need a place that reminds us that we are all one. The Restory hopes to be such a place and space.
