What a beautiful piece of writing. I'm crying small secret tears in my office cubicle this morning.

Terrific and very moving writing, many thanks. To get an idea of the magnificence of Chartres, filmed in beautiful colour, as it was around 1969 one can watch part 1 of the BBC's mini series CIVILISATION by Sir Kenneth Clark, in which Chartres is annointed by Clark as the birthplace of modern civilisation.

Thank you so much! I would love to have your impressions if you ever visit an orthodox church

Magnificent. I will be pondering this for a long time. Hopefully while imagining myself standing within a cathedral, an old, unrestored cathedral.

Beautiful. I am heartened that through your writing I can acknowledge my own human feelings are those of many of my brothers. Thanks for connecting to us.
