Love Saviors of God. Back in the 90's I created a weekend retreat for myself

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst
into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be
thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.  Albert Schweitzer
