Travel :

I was able to venture inside St Mary's Cathedral yesterday.  What a beautiful space.  Walking in I was reminded of Hogwarts dining hall,  it should have been Pillars of the Earth but no it was Hogwarts.  The massive stone pillars and the grant chandeliers felt so mystical to me.

I started snapping photos right away not wanting to miss a thing,  the stained glass windows that are truly a work of art,  the stations of the cross, the statues.  There were several places to light candles, and they all had different themes.  One was like a candle opera up on a stone wall, there was one with Mother Mary watching over the candles and a couple of more traditional ones.
As I am walking thru in my own little world snapping pictures I hear a snore,  more of a snort.  This certainly brought me back to now very quickly.  I looked around to see where on Earth the noise was coming from, and I see a homeless man asleep in a pew.  I look upon this man and I get washed with an overwhelming emotions.  I am at peace, I am grateful, I am blessed.  I feel the safety he must feel in this place.  I imagine one of this angels  wrapping their wings around him and telling him, you are safe and warm my child, rest.  I think of a line from a hymn "come follow me and I will give you rest"

It's then I truly look around this sacred space.  I feel the love.  I knelt in a pew and opened my arms and surrendered to my creator.
