Light, colour, joy

Posted on
Only one post yesterday. It was, you'll understand, a somewhat overwhelming day. I've been planning this pilgrimage for months, and travelling for weeks. To arrive was ... extraordinary.

Visitors are strongly discouraged from taking photos in the Basilica, and there are plenty of ushers and volunteers on hand to remind you of that discouragement. So the photo above was taken rather surreptitiously. But I couldn't resist one.

At the moment I took this (a short while after the prayerful moment I described yesterday) I'd walked round to behind the altar and sat on a wooden bench. I was grinning from ear to ear. The riot of colour and light was joyous.

    Hi Chris
    I am full of admiration for your tenacity and grateful acceptance of the twists and turns of your journey so far. The road is still within you but now one of the world’s thin places rests there too.
    Great. God bless. Peace.
