House Hunting

Well, not in the usual sense.

Cyfnos Gwynt and her lady Jeni (and of course Carw Gwynt) know about my 'perfect moment' from some years ago... standing in the kitchen at Massasoit Street preparing parsley to dry, with the sun shining gently through the windows, and suddenly I had a moment of knowing that this was what I should be doing - accompanied by knowing that I'd be working on various arts and things around the home, and that people would come by to see and/or buy some of that artwork.
There was hillside out the door, open and grassy nearby. Some place out in the countryside.

When we were over for the barbecue party and then visiting with CF and Jen, Jen asked if I'd ever looked around the place, and I had to say that it hadn't really occurred to me to do so. I'd been perfectly content to know that this place was out there somewhere, and that if I could get on and stay on the right path, eventually I'd get there.

But it was an interesting thought, and I figured I could use the practice, so I've done a few directed meditations on it. Not perfect by any means, but I've gotten some more detail. I don't want to share all of it until I'm a little more sure of things, but I wanted to write down a little of it here. The initial room from years ago isn't in a house, it's a work room that's separate from a house, part of a barn/outbuilding structure. Big enough for herbal work and also other work with plants (like preparing flax), with several tables, counters, shelving, rafters. Windows for lighting. I don't know if people who haven't seen barns in real life know that barns can have windows, but depending on the function of the barn (or part of the barn), they can.

I'll write more later, but it's time to get ready to go up to the farm.
