Floating Reflection by Eric
Today was a great day for reflection as we floated down a river nestled in the middle of the rain forest. Our guides helped the students and leaders navigate through a series of mile longs caves where they got to experience the marvels of nature including an underground waterfall and bat cave. At the end of the “cave portion” of our journey we stopped for a time of reflection to talk about the challenges of life and what may be holding us back from expeiencing the fullness of life. As a memory of our time together each student selected a rock that “best described them” – which will be used later in the week during our Eucharist Encounter. Before we left the river most students and adults took a well deserved jump from the rope swing into a crystal blue swimming hole. After a hearty dinner we enjoyed some free time and ended our day with discussion, journaling and prayer.
