Qualities of Light

“I entirely expected Findhorn to look fully fairy tale, with houses and buildings bulbous and cartoonish, surrounded by trolls and oversized puffy mushrooms. Seriously. Everything was iconic. Our bitty caravan Evergreen at the end of Pineridge was an iconic Findhorn community caravan, in which it was a vaunted, idyllic privilege to dwell.

Best was on chilly Saturday afternoons coming home from work department and firing up Reggie, the wood stove, until the caravan was incandescently hot. My favorite day of all was when through a freak of confluence of temperature and condensation all the cobwebs in the community were lit up in bright silver, with each road and path lined with concentric silver mandalas as far as the eye could see just that once, and never seen so again.”
