The Secret of the Rose

Part 1 - Rose windows can be a great revelation of a universal Truth .............

 

"The ability to create beauty is God's greatest gift to man. And the appreciation of beauty whether man made or natural is not only a joy but an active call to something much greater than oneself.

At rare intervals in our lives we may experience moments of magic, when a person, a place, a view, an object or a situation seems to transfix us, and we suddenly see the world in a quite different light.

Such moments are often accompanied by an equally sudden 'inner expansion' and the realization that there is so much more of life to be experienced, much that is unfulfilled.

However unexpected the moments may be, they have a feeling of the Absolute about them. They are rare and elusive but leave us with a sense of awe and wonder which we feel is our birthright."

"Rose Windows"; Painton Cowen, 1979, Thames and Hudson __
