Unbelievable day! Just Speechless!!!!
Today I traveled to meet Father Jan in the south eastern mountain range of this country. Father Jan is a Lutheran Pastor who organizes the concerts in the parishes surrounding his village. Father Jan speaks NO english! What an exciting experience... it was awesome! We then hiked a hour up to the top of a peak where they have erected an alter made of stones from all of the surrounding countries and nations.... the furthest stones traveled all the way from ground zero to be placed in this "alter of unity". Picking wild blueberries along the way was delicious! I can truly say that I have seen the heights of love and beauty in this country!
I have also seen the deepest disgusted of humanity today! I feel it very poetic that as we left the high part of our day, we passed through a dark cloud that washed the brightness away with its rain. We proceeded to the the sight that proves to be one of histories worst nightmares. I personally chose not to take photographs for I feel that every stone in this place has been pictured enough. I wanted to be focused on my experience, reverent in my visit and pay my deepest respects for this tragedy! Pictures can not capture the emotions I experienced! There is so much I can not put into words.... and I would rather not try. This experience is difficult, but important... I believe it to be one of the most important places my singers will visit.
