The Angel Micheal

That happens to be today's marker; Feast of. And I live under his wings. So I was all excited again about how faith and myth are life rafts in a darkening world. How in life they have been my refuge. And how different faith words are houses of the same light.And I was thinking too about Newgrange and Lough Crew, and all those ancient monuments that hold light in the darkness. We are told that their significance is enormous for science, and the precision with which ancient peoples understood astronomy. But there's something else happens there; in the darkness of winter when the light comes in. The chamber is filled with the glory of the sun. It fills the room. And that I think is what we're missing about such buildings. They were metaphors that tell us about the relationship between humans and gods.We are houses of light. So all those ideas were sitting there on my tongue and I couldn't resist sharing them. Hope you enjoy. (By the way I love the idea of using The Angel Michael as a title for something.
