SUNDAY STROLL - AWAY FROM THE MADDENING CROWD

Come with me to a place apart. The sort of place we are told from many sources to visit often to restore ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually. We live in a home that is in a setting of peace and quiet, but we have built a little cabin down away from our busy house and hobby shop so that we can actually move to that other place that is apart.
We will stroll a short distance down to the bluff at the creek.



Come in with me. Perhaps we can sit a spell and listen to the wind in the trees and catch the song of the waterfalls.
It's never locked.
This is a wonderful place to pray, meditate and contemplate. Perhaps you would enjoy the sweet scent of sage to create an atmosphere of cleansing.
We even have a bedroll for you should you choose to spend the night.
The porch is an excellent place to look and listen to nature.
Does the sound of moving water lull you into serenity?
Do glimpses of the sky take you on flights of imagination and inspiration?
Perhaps you would enjoy a slow meander around the Labyrinth to open the doorway into your soul and your hearts delight.

Whenever you take time to 'come ye apart' you are giving yourself a gift of solitude laced with the comfort and joy that we sing about during the Christmas season. Where do you go for that sweet refreshment of time and reflection?

Do you want to continue strolling? Aisling's is the place to go.

SUNDAY STROLL-MEDITATION GARDEN

This Memorial Day Weekend I want to invite you into the Meditation and Healing Garden in our church yard. Our church has several talented artist who worked all last summer on the mosaic wall.


Come sit and contemplate the heroic nature of human beings who through the ages were willing to die for friend, home or country. This is the time to say thank you, not to just soldiers, but all who serve to protect and preserve the concept of personal freedom. We need to be about healing one another's wounds.

Here in this garden are many herbs, mints, sage, balms, this Rosemary plant is turning into a shrub, don't you think.


The angel sits in the midst of Thyme and calls us to attend to the here and now. This is our time. I am a meditative and feel hope and peace in any natural setting. Here I pray for the healing of spirit and mind and heart of the world.

Stroll through other gardens and places at Aisling's place.
