In the silence of my pained thoughts, alone, surrounded by the beauty of Creation, my soul perceived the powerful presence of healing words offering hope, mercy and unconditional love.
“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
Perched upon a rock at the edge of ocean, alone, yet surrounded by sheer beauty and silence so profound, the psalmists words pierced my heart and echoed within the depths of my soul.
“Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)
The monastery emanated an aura of serenity and reverence. Besides the rustling of leaves and the wind dancing amidst the treetops, I was all alone. As the sun hid behind the clouds I gazed upon the facade of the monastery. Forlorn, decaying yet defiant in it’s timeless beauty, it captured my imagination. Looking up at the archaic entrance of the monastery, I read with a sense of reverence the ancient Greek inscriptions, “Let the love of Christ be the light of your life that guides you”. I stood in awe and silence. The words resonated within the depths of my soul and my heart stirred with sheer love for whom I loved most, Christ Jesus. Eventually passing through the doorway I felt an immense sense of tranquility, as though I had stepped from modernity into a bygone era devoid of superficial distractions.
