Travel
Innisfallen Island: 
We crossed the Loch Leach (means lake of learning) in very rough waters.  Our "captain" was the most entertaining Irishman,  he drove one boat and his son the other.  The boats were pretty small, much like a fishing boat we would rent at the lake, just a little bigger. 
Our captain had a very friendly dog named Charlie, looks like a small Irish setter (I don't know my dog breeds) what a life Charlie has.  He gets to spend his days with his master riding back and forth on the boat and while the passengers are wondering around the island he gets to swim or fetch sticks with his master.  We found a bag of treats under the bench and fed them to Charlie on the ride across, how could we not, he was so happy and excited to see us and get treats.  What a wonderful life Charlie has. 

Our captain was so full of entertaining stories
He informed us he has never lost anyone overboard, at least not in the last two weeks  lol
or
in Ireland you know the captain does not go down with his ship, he's the first one off.  hehe

well we laughed all the way over to the island and all the way back.  it was a good distraction as the lake was very very rough,  the waves splashed up over the sides.  I love the water and even I was getting a bit anxious, never mind the ones that fear the water.

When we landed on the island the first thing I noticed was the grand Yewtree,  we were told it is 750 years old,  there are very few left on the main land as they were used for bows and arrows back in the day, but this one was left untouched due to its location. 

The lake is named Loch Leach, which means lake of learning , the reason is that the monastery on the island educated many kings.  The monastery was founded in about 640AD.   However some parts of the ruins are believed to date back to 200AD. 

The ruins were stunning,  the roofs are gone but a lot of the wall structures are still intact, there are several buildings,  I spell bound as I wandered in and out of the ruins imagining all that had gone on in the confines of these strong stone walls, what kind of men had got there learning here, what had they accomplished because of it, what kind of sacrifices were made to get the education, what were the monks like, what had they given up to be here on this isolated island,  the thoughts were endless.

Journey:

We stood in the centre courtyard where the monks would have gathered in prayer.  We formed an energy circle, Cindy instructed us to draw white healing light from the courtyard, the sacred ground. We then were told to send this powerful healing white light to mother earth and all that needs healing. Cindy asked us to get into the knowing. This is my result and my gift from the angels:

"The monks prayed for all mankind until they ascended into the light. They also wept. The wept for the sins and suffering of their fellow man, as the monks were humans, mere humans, they were there for all of us. They prayed and wept for all of us."

It was very powerful, I felt such peaceful security in the courtyard.  They had prayed for us. They had prayed for me.
