Hello everybody,
I have returned from my travels. While I was traveling and thinking about you all, I though I might expand the topics a bit here at Mystic Cottage. Since I am off from my normal schedules, I thought I would also speak about my life as well.
I discovered a monk and hermit in Irish history. He was born at the end of the 400’s. This was a time when the church did not have an over-all influence. Spiritual centers with monks were very common. So in these earliest of times came Kevin “The Gentle”. He sought solitude above all else. And, when it looked like he would become the successor to the abbot, he ran away and became a hermit (for years). But over time his spirituality grew with his reputation, and in the end, he returned to become their spiritual leader and abbot. His church is the oldest “operating” church in Ireland today.
