IN THE SILENCE OF THE LIGHT

I come up now and again to the peaks of these marvellous hills to ground myself and to reconcile myself to the world. It is so beautiful up here. But up till now I had never gone past that point.
I rang the bell, Two incredible eyes opened up that surrounded me and penetrated me. They are not normal eyes, believe me, as deep and as intelligent as you could wish for. They leave me reeling from the light that shines from them, that betrays all that they are used to seeing: the sky.
