I was brought up in a world of sacred waters and holy wells, (long before many households had their own running water) so this poem, Trudi, brought back a lot of memories for me. It was a time when religious belief, and belief in miracles was very strong.

I've heard much about Glastonbury. It looks like a tranquil place. I'd like to go there sometime.

Martin, it is a very lovely place. And there is a chapel dedicated to St Patrick in the abbey grounds! I love sacred waters and have visited Lourdes many times. Belief in miracles is a good thing, I think. Thank you, Martin.💞✨

I believe in miracles, Trudi, and I meditate and pray every morning for an hour before I get up and have breakfast. For me, this is the best way of taking care of body and soul.

That is a great way to start your day, Martin.

Yes, especially the prayers (the positive vibrations you send out into the universe). I've been told that they have helped a lot of people.

I believe that. I say mine at night. I like the thought of starting the day in prayer.

Georg, that is exactly how it felt wandering through the gardens near the well. Thank you!✨

Amazing to see this living part of Avalon, Trudi. The vesica pisces is a powerful healing symbol and the well is lifegiving. I went there once and would go back in a heartbeat. Beautiful.

I loved the symbol, Heidi. I have a bottle of the water and am taking a small sip each day. I would return, too - such a special place.✨

Oh this is so gentle but so deep Trudi. I was going to quote my favourite stanza but couldn't choose! How wonderful to have been inspired by something many would just walk by.

Trudi Nicola's avatar

Julia, that means so much - thank you. It is such a gorgeous place.✨
