We
arrived on Chebeague and Peter (Father in-law) was there to meet us on the dock
with Abbie (THE dog…) We went to the
house and got settled. Linda (mother
in-law) was at home awaiting our arrival.
From the moment I stepped into house, I felt safe, warm and
comfortable. It was a sacred space. They invited us to attend a meditation group
with them, one that they attend each week.
We agreed.
We
had dinner at the Crab Shack, a local kitchen.
It was my first time trying Hallock and clams. I enjoyed them both, very much. After dinner we headed over to Beverly and
Dave’s. Their extra large picture window
provided a breathtaking view of Chebeague Islands East view of the Casco Bay.
Dave
began playing the crystal bowls, as we closed our eyes, concentrated on our
breathing, cleared our minds, and allowed our mind, body, soul and spirit to
rest and just be… the song, vibrations and rhythm of the bowls transported us
to our inner-selves.
After
being there for a couple of hours we headed home. For me it was a feeling of peace, calm,
quite, warmth, love and serenity. This
was the first time that I have felt this at once.
I
didn’t sleep well that night (Tuesday) but it wasn’t because my mind was busy,
it was because my body was awake.
It
is not often that I allow myself time to stop.
I don’t remember ever being able to shut my mind off and just be still
(mind, body, soul, spirit.) I believe
that this was the first time that I experienced the calmness that is seen,
watching a vibration in the water…
We can be the change we seek in this world, and in
ourselves.
One day. One
journey. One person, at a time.
May peace, love and compassion be with you…AND from
you!
