"Come and discover what prophets have seen, high on their hills of wonder. Come and watch the eagles fly against the setting sun."


There are times when you don’t have to say a word: I know what you are thinking. It is in your eyes. They have seen too much for too long. They have read the headlines, watched the evening news, seen the suffering and the rage. You need a release, a chance to behold a different vision. Come and discover what prophets have seen, high on their hills of wonder. Come and watch the eagles fly against the setting sun. Come and see what love looks like when it sleeps in the peace of perfect safety. Don’t say a word. Just come and see.
