Because a day like this just shouldn't be wasted...

[kellan_the_tabby]

I spent some time jobhunting today, because I need a job.

After that I was going to go and see TLTWaTW, because I _still_ haven't got round to it. I decided to put it off for one more day, though; the weather was too nice - almost sixty degrees - and I wanted to be _outside_.

So I drove up to Columcille again. This time, I got there well before sunset, instead of _right_ before. I spent probably two hours wandering the paths, looking at all (and there are a _lot_) of the standing stones and piles of stones and stone circles and...things.

There's a labyrinth at the nearby Kirkridge Conference Center, and I walked that (after waiting for someone else to finish). It was lovely, peaceful, very centering. Then I went into the St. Columba Chapel and just...sat and thought for a while. Asked for a clue where I'm going. I don't know if I got any answers, but we shall see.

I ran into the guy who runs the place (and his dog, who refused to give me his frisbee). He welcomed me very graciously and we chatted for a bit (mostly about the dog).

All in all, it was a lovely calm grounding sort of day. One I needed badly.

And why is it you have not taken me to these very cool-sounding places??

Weren't you going to let me know the next time you drove past my house? :)

I've been living here for about 3 years and have never visited there... Wow, i just looked on Google maps and Columcille is only 4 miles from me! Right, i know what i'm doing some weekend in the near future, thanks! *hug*

Sounds like a wonderful day. Glad you could have it!

The only thing I don't like about Columcille is that you can't eat there. It is a good place.

Glad you had your time. And what are you going to look for in terms of work?

Columcille, yes. I remember that. One should go there more often.
