Such a wonderful day, thanks for being there with me and getting on a plane to adventure with a crazy girl from Panthea Con. I received such powerful insites that day and I have worked with them since. Three years later I am presenting that Work to new pilgrims at Heapstown Cairn. <br /><br />Vyvianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720281442813316184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245968337172165533.post-72707779286215172892015-03-02T20:30:25.061-08:002015-03-02T20:30:25.061-08:00My friend and I found the original well called the...My friend and I found the original well called the Wayside Well easily . I had read directions in a book a few years earlier. We parked our car at the lot for the Japanese Gardens, and walked to the left over to the gate in the fence described here and then down the path to the well. The well was a lovely peaceful place. We spent some time at the well and blessed the candles we brought with us with water from the well. We also went to see the beautiful Japanese gardens before leaving. We had called a day ahead to make an appointment, and in the afternoon we went over to meet with Sister Mary at Solas Bhride where she tends the eternal flame. We loved the short ceremony we participated in with her to pass the flame to our candles. I've been a Flamekeeper since 2006. We also went to St Brighid's Cathedral while we were in town to see the site of the Fire Temple that the nuns tended for many centuries. It is located behind the Cathedral. Some scholars think the women druids may have tended an eternal flame there for the goddess Brighid in pre-Christian times. We had a very wonderful day on our pilgrimage to Kildare. niniannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07094719663206855334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245968337172165533.post-89811105587064083522013-10-19T23:07:04.040-07:002013-10-19T23:07:04.040-07:00Hi Johnathan.

I think it is that same openness and creativity that I saw (and continue to see) in your CR work and writing that I originally found to be inspiring (going on 5 years ago now). I had hoped to meet you on the pilgrimage last year and instead found myself moving from Santa Cruz, CA to Boston, MA in an unexpected turn in my own life. The move definitely came with its challenges and a year later I have definitely found my process to include a range of adjustments, but like you seem to have experienced with getting your visa, there was much that seemed to create an ease in the process despite the difficulties entailed in uprooting myself and transporting my home/my life across a continent, and rewarding it has certainly been and continues to be. So in all the challenges that are ahead of you however surmountable, I imagine there are also many rewards ahead as well. I wish you much fortune and success in your move and look forward to reading what you have to write about your transition and transformation in your new life in Italy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245968337172165533.post-34085513667735444332013-10-18T01:49:21.754-07:002013-10-18T01:49:21.754-07:00Thanks so much, Hilaire!
