|  | Greetings!
 Happy Summer!
We send this summer's newsletter with Joy and Love and hope you have been able to take time for sun and fun! It's a most exquisite time of year to make a journey to Ireland, and with all there is here to offer in the sunny southeast, what better way than a journey to the heart of hearts! Our rose garden is in full bloom, our vegetables and fruits are bursting with flavour, and if you choose, it's the perfect time for visits to the nearby beaches, Hook lighthouse, horseback riding, or just meandering through the brilliant countryside.

From Roses with Love...
 Imagine for a moment, just now, you can simply be. Just sitting still, your eyes close. You breathe in, slowly, gently and fully. As you exhale you enter a space of total relaxation. There are no jobs to be done, no worries of the past, and no concerns for any future moment. You are here, now. You are you. As each moment passes you become more aware of a greater peaceful presence within and without.  As you relax even further within, you find yourself amongst a most
beautiful rose garden. The fragrant flowers are like none you have
experienced. The vibrant colors and heavenly scents fill you with deep
serenity and you see once again how all things in nature are provided
for. Each rose accepts what it is given, grows with the light of the sun
and nutrients from the earth. Some are bright and bold, others soft and subtle. Each allows it's own fragrance to be carried by the wind. They grow at their proper pace, none challenging the other. Newly buds open while other petals gently fall from those that have shared their Love. Each carried along though a greater energetic flow. Nature and all elements are in tune with this greater flow, and now, so are you. Finding time to spend in the physical presence of flowing streams, singing birds, and the healing power of flowers revitalizes the soul. Each has its season, each simply surrenders to its own divine uniqueness while co-existing in the connection of ever expanding and changing universal life force. We can learn much from them. So do, indeed "stop to smell the roses" and meanwhile, our heavenly scented rose garden here at Creacon will be awaiting your visit. |
