"....These are only hints and guesses,
Hints followed by guesses...."
T.S. Eliot, in "The Dry Salvages" from "Four Quartets"
When I decided to participate in a "Day of Solitude" at the Siena Retreat Center in Racine, Wisconsin last Sunday, I had two needs: I craved a day of silence, and I longed for a feeling of forgiveness toward someone who had hurt me.
