The Church of Maria

I spent a few weeks in a very beautiful town called Helsingborg. It is a town just on the other side of the water from Helsingor Denmark. I loved that town. I stayed in the very old and very interesting hotel Mollberg. It is the oldest hotel in Sweden dating back to the 14th century. I loved saying there.

Just outside the hotel, right next to it, was a beautiful old church. That church was also very, very old. Older than the hotel. I would walk by it every morning. One morning I decided to go into it. There were candles lit, but no people. I sat in one of the pews and prayed for a while.

I could really feel the echos of all those footsteps of centuries of people. And I could feel a certain oneness with them.
