Her essay begins like this: Near the end of my time at the Collegeville Institute, I took a walk through the forest here, a forest coming alive during the season of Easter, resurrecting from what was considered a mild winter by Minnesota standards. As I walked, the air singing with freshness, the sun sparkling on the waters of Lake Stumpf, I pondered my sabbatical time here and all it had meant to me. Had it been all that I had hoped it would be? Read her full reflection here.
