Letter: Magical, mystical tour

It was a somewhat mystical experience and soulful delight to see the Our World article by Michel Fortier in the Neapolitan section of the Daily News on June 19.

I shall treasure it.

The photo elicits the same awe and wonder of God’s beauty all over the world if only we keep an interior silence, since God speaks to us in silence. We find it in others who witness the majesty of God’s creation in a sublime sunset, the beauty of flowers, even a flowering weed among the cement pavements, as I often did on my way to work in Philadelphia.

I have seen 10 of the new stamp sheets, “Wonders of the World.” I’ve seen the Milky Way and zillions of stars while living in the Mojave Desert. I cried when I saw my Waianae Mountains before I had to move from Hawaii. I’ve driven across our great country several times years ago. Even the human accomplishment of the Hoover Dam is mind-boggling, that the Creator endowed man to do such great work. I’ve seen the Rocky Mountains from the air and used to walk amid the Rainbow Canyon on the Mojave Desert between Barstow and Needles, Calif.

We only need to be very still within, since God talks to us in silence.

I saw on TV the beauty of Victoria Falls, and when the filmmaker asked the guide what others do when they see this magnificent beauty, she replied that they fall on their knees and cry.

Perhaps my letter may inspire even one soul to wonder and find serenity and peace and divine love.
