Leaving Iona

For those who depart Iona, there is a Leaving Service at the Abbey. One of the prayers is:

The Maker's blessing be yours
on your road
on your journey
guiding you, cherishing you.

Tonight's service was a combination Silent Service and Taize. Quiet time on a Sunday night.

Tomorrow we will be on the 9am ferry across the Iona Sound to Mull, where we will pick up our car and journey across Scotland to Lindisfarne (Holy Island). It turns out this is in England. Yep, I'm headed to England. What a surprise!
