Description
It was a long, hot day. Enjoying the scenery around the homestead of Gerogia K'eefe's home in Abiguiu, New Mexico, I asked my husband to follow a road nearby that seemed to call to me. He learned long ago to go with my "angels" and humored me. A bit later we found ourselves in this lonely, compelling place filled with mystery and serenity. It was both lovely and haunting. Maybe I needed to take a moment from the craziness of the world, having to be someplace at a particular time or maybe my soul was being called to enter and rest. I only remember the calm, loving feelings I had from taking this moment to sit and enjoy the sacrificing love expressed in the symbols of the three crosses. If I ever doubted it, I knew then I was loved. People with a purpose built this place, high atop the rocky outcropping with views that extended to heaven. People prayed and worshipped in this place, sending their love and healing gestures to their loved ones. To humbly capture this instant reminds me of the loving grace of our Lord and the people who love him. May they be surrounded in his light.
