Introduction
A very special place to me is somewhere that from depths of Winter to the brightest day of Summer I find such solace, courage and meaning that words do not even begin to express its place in my heart and soul and its impetus on my life.
This is one of the places that always glows red to my mind which means love, laughter, light, and most of all life continued. No matter the place the body mind or heart of me takes me to, this geographical place anchors the soul of me to something far greater than any amount of imagining can offer me. It offers me glimpse of something other that I will never understand but which illuminates each moment with its wonder and wholeness.
This is place where this pilgrim finds her journey to have meaning beyond herself and she understands like the Hawthorn in her garden she draws sustenance from the waters of the mountain and sometimes even finds herself clad in a red glow:0) but only if the cycle of the Earth is recognised and accepted as map for my journey, place for Wintering quietly building up energy to Spring forth with new growth and idea coming to fruition with Summer bounty and letting go of that which is spent in those Autumn moments.
