The Beautiful Life Retreat Part 2, Hugs & Kisses
On Wednesday morning I woke early and decided I would walk up the Glastonbury Torr before morning meditation.
As I made my way up the hill the Torr gradually appeared from the mist and when I reached the top I was surprised to see a herd of cows making their way towards me. I sat on the pathway step awhile and just watched in awe and wonder, being a London girl it felt like a real privilege to sit among them, one even licked my jacket which was on the step beside me. I turned towards the Torr Tower when I heard voices, two women walked out of it and said good morning, they were on holiday from Holland, we entered into a conversation and I said that sitting amongst the cows had brought tears to my eyes, then this stranger from another country said to me that she knew what I meant and then she said she felt she wanted to give me a hug, she hugged me warmly and afterwards her friend gave me an equally warm hug. Next they invited me to follow them into the tower and once inside we stood holding hands in a holy circle and shared a beautiful prayerful silence.
After my new friends left I stayed inside the Tower sitting on the stone bench,I felt full of happiness, then my other friends the cows came and surrounded the tower and captured me inside, they filled both the entrances and three walked inside and stood beside me.
I ended up missing the morning meditation but I had experienced a most wonderful alternative morning meditation with Kissing cows and Hugging Dutch women.
