The landscape here is by far the most beautiful in all my travels.
Steep rocky cliffs, broad sandy beaches, thick tufts of spongy green turf, wild flowers-blue, yellow, violet. The streams are flowing from field, over rock paths and out to the sea. Sitting by the cliff edge there is a grand silence cut only by sound of sea birds and the water lapping against rock far below.
Natures beauty is so intense and vibrant it has the power to touch the soul and awaken it to God’s presence.
This experience of beauty is enriched by connection with loved ones, family and dearest of friends. Such beauty can’t be absorbed fully unless it is shared. I think that is because material beauty is really just a pointer, an invitation into communion, and union.
