I come from a small town that is too often quick to judge that,
"there's nothing to do." I know I am guilty of this, but I also tend to
be antisocial and won't leave the house even to explore the nearby
community unless I have reason to.
Today
just so happened to be an adventurous day when my friend came over to
see my apartment. After visiting and enjoying each others company, we
decided to walk my dog along the streets of the extremely small town I
live in. Fortunately enough, we wandered out way into new territory that
neither of us would imagine to go.
There is an even smaller
community within the town dedicated to mediums and those of the like. We
both have background knowledge regarding the religion/ lifestyle. She,
who has seen documentaries and read historical books, and I, also
learned from reading as well as a past college course. We were rather
excited to have the opportunity to visit, briefly.
We
walked in and made a loop around the perimeter just to get a good look
around out of curiosity and because everything was closed. The housing
architecture was just as interesting too look at as it would have been
to have an actual medium reading. They are all old fashioned buildings
that have been restored and there was tons of foliage around every
corner.
From our brief, unplanned visit,
it was very nice to be able to see and experience. On a side note (not
saying it made the visit good or bad) I had an eerie feeling while
walking through, not saying that I believe in spirits either, maybe
because things were all closed up on a early Saturday evening, and the
community was very quite.
Nonetheless, we
all enjoyed the walk and it was nice to find something (free) nearby
that was enjoyable and consumed sometime. I think next time we're both
free, we should actually plan a trip there when there is more activity
as well!
