The Cosmic Walk

The story of the universe, Our story is recreated at Suaimhneas in the form of a cosmic walk, which is cut into the lawns.

The cosmic walk tells the story of the universe from its beginnings with the great flaring forth 15 billion years ago to the present day. It is designed to provide some sense of the awesomeness of the time, space and creativity of the universe. It conveys a sense of sequence in the ‘story of the universe’ and in the earth’s unfolding process. It also conveys a brief history of humanity, the uniqueness of each life event – of each unique expression of the cosmic story in the unfolding of the whole, of which each of us is a part.

The ritual of the cosmic walk was originally created in the mid 1980s by Sr. Miriam Therese MacGillis, of Genesis Farm in Blairstown, New Jersey, who was inspired by the ‘New Story’ as told by Thomas Berry. While the events chosen as stations are arbitrary, various ‘timelines’ for the universe and earth history can be found in many sources.
