An afternoon at the beach
Time is so weird right now. I feel like I've been living various lifetimes since the end of May...
A new one started when I arrived in Edinburgh…and then another when I got to Iona. Every week is another one still…
Yesterday was my one month anniversary on Iona. Oddly enough I had planned a dinner out at The St. Columba Hotel with one of my new friends last night. We realized it had been exactly a month since meeting on the Jetty while we were enjoying a drink out on the lawn, overlooking the sound of Iona. Pretty romantic, eh? LOL.
A lot has changed within me...I'm changing every minute.
I have blog ideas all the time that evaporate in a heartbeat because my brain is alternately relaxed and inspired. New ideas rolling in and out...
I keep thinking how incredible it is here...how everyone looks familiar within seconds. I don't quite know how to explain that. Some sort of magic or the way community builds really quickly here.
I think it's remarkable how my moments and days flow organically into each other. One minute I'm planning a reiki staff session with one of my roommates, then I'm volunteering to sing a song during that evening's service...which leads to me and three other vollies sitting on the floor of the empty Abbey harmonizing and I end the day piled onto a couch watching a movie with my friends.
Every day is full and every moment a gift.
