This was after spending the evening on the shoreline of the Mediterranean sea. The sea is breathtaking and mesmerizing. The feelings it swells within are light and wonderful. Here is what i wrote afterwards:
'As i look out into the sea i am blocked by tall bushes. Giant vibrant green bushes advert my eyes. Then i see a hole. A small insignificant hole, that opens a mesmerizing unforgettable view. IT is as our vision is of heaven and truth. Only when we turn our gaze and wait do we allow possible mere distorted glimpses of heaven. As mere small distorted glimpses of the beautiful shoreline and horizon melt and ascend with the misty hills beckoning them home. "
I believe this next entry was after we visited the site of Ephesus. I was able to see a magnificent library!!! Here are some quick pics of the place.

This is me next to one of the front statues, there are four all together. Wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, and virtue.
"I was reminded of how fragile and short this life is. Do not miss the movements of this world, slow down and realize the capabilities you have to understand, comprehend, and effect the world. See this world and the next all around you. Respect others, respect earth, respect the history of those that have done good, learn from those who have done bad, forgive but never forger, and love one another."
While on the trip to Turkey, we traveled over miles.......while we did that i was able to read many books. It was great! Here are a few quotes from those books.
"This quest may be attempted by the week with as much hope as the strong. yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." Lord of the Rings Elrond the wise Elf
"A nation that continues to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." -MLK
