Meditation, Contemplation & Rest

I just returned from a weekend, spiritual retreat in Mexico, a wonderful weekend of connecting with each other and God or love.  Much was absorbed and experienced by all of the participants.  It was also an exhausting experience with a great deal of intense information exchange.  As a result, I need to spend the next few days doing a lot of resting and quietly processing the events of the weekend.  That means a lot of meditation, contemplation and rest, until I feel balanced once again.  I just realized how different my current approach is from my historical approach of plunging right back into life and not respecting what just took place.
