I Love These Guys


I arrived on Iona on June 6th and am still trying to settle in. There is a lot to absorb, but it promises to be a really great experience already...

I actually had an entire post done...and then the fire alarm in the Abbey went off and we all had to go outside. I forgot to hit "Save" before shutting my laptop. :(

The weather has been outstanding. I have taken some beautiful walks and met some wonderful people. Right from the beginning it seems to fold you in bit by bit.

There have been highs and lows...not unhappiness, mind you. I think it's because Iona is a place that gets down deep inside and pulls out what's meant to emerge. It takes a lot of energy. It's an unfolding...but I've found a dramatically gentle transformation. If that makes any sense.

I helped make sticky toffee pudding and the sauce.That was fun :)

I have had moments of worry...seeing as I have no plans other than to be here.

Clearly, though, here is where I need to be.

Love the images and words, Ms LeAnn.

I am also thinking that if things don't go well for me in getting a job, I might take off and hide myself away back in Nepal and India for a few more years. Not that it would solve anything, but maybe it is where I also need to be?

Take care

I was with the Findhorn Foundation a couple of years ago but missed Iona. I'd love to go back again as I feel so at home in Scotland that I even wrote and published my first travelogue about this vast landscape...check out my website if u're interested. Have a meaningful time there!
