‘ The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.’
Deut. 33:27
‘ …God sent His Son that the world must be saved through Him.’
John 3:17
Today, there was a haze that hung around like a note left to remind us that temperatures rise to 27⁰C this week. It was pleasant walking conditions for an undulating walk. Here is a start and an end photograph with a story. I will then share how nature showed itself today.
Urns placed in the alcoves can easily be seen.
Dashwood Mausoleum is built on the site of an iron age fort. It is constructed of Portland stone and flint.
Here is a story. One of the members of the Hell Fire Club left his heart to his good friend Francis Dashwood. Tour groups in the 18 th Century passed the urn around as part of the Mausoleum experience until an Australian soldier stole the heart in the urn. It hasn’t been seen since.
Today, we could be inside the grounds. Usually, the gates are firmly locked.
‘ When the sun is covered with clouds, objects are less conspicuous, because there is little difference between the light and shade of the trees and the buildings illuminated by the brightness of the atmosphere which surrounds the objects in such a way that the shadows are few, and these few fade away so that their outline is lost in haze.’
Leonardo da Vinci.
The countryside today.
And here are another two thoughts with haze:
‘ Creativity is one of those hypnotic words which are prone to cast a spell upon our understanding and dissolve our thinking into haze.’
Albert Einstein
And
‘ Yesterday and tomorrow, cross and mix on the skyline. The two are lost in a purple haze. One forgets, one waits.’
Carl Sandburg
Take care,
