THE PYRENEES AGAIN
Blog by Lynne Pearl
By some miracle we went again and the mountains were all as I had remembered for a whole year. They give hope and beauty to the soul. They are everlasting beautiful and the air up there is like diamonds and the light is like all the rainbows put together and made crystal. Up there it is just a heaven for everyone. We go there and forget everything because it all does not seem so big anymore and we are just so happy to be there.
The stories are there. the trees are there and that magnificent river, turquoise and drawn from glaciers high up but nearby, just pummelling through the town and the domaine. And always there is the singing of many people, they must all be happy to be here.
Then at night as night falls, they all are coming together with small lights but moving together, singing in unison, all helping one another along until they come together in the big square in rows to sing some more.
We went one day to St Sauvin, where there was a magnificent old village church built like a fairly tale castle with a witch’s hat, sitting at the head of the biggest valley you have ever seen so that in every direction you look there are mountains, mountains and more mountains. There is no world other than mountains, black and very far away tipped with pearly white.
Then another day following we visited Cite St Pierre, created so that everyone should be able to come to visit here. We sit beside the lake which has that quality of perfect light and shines like a mirror. There are water lilies too and you can now walk around the lake and climb half way upa small mountainside before cascading yourself down beyond steep fields full of mountain flowers like a coverlet of glory. And always in the background those mountains, very far away, very high up and glistening in black and a golden light so that you wanted to reach up and just touch them they are so close by.
