Eternity has nothing to do with the hereafter… This is it… If you don’t get it here, you won’t get it anywhere. The experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life. Heaven is not the place to have the experience; here’s the place to have the experience. Joseph Campbell

Spiritual, magestic, holy - no matter which way your theology flows.

We have outdoor stations at the retreat center in Beaumont, but they are not as lovely as this. Still, it is such a good lesson to walk them, recalling what Jesus went through during his last hours on earth. And the woods just add to the whole thing.

I agree with that quote, and I want to live in that red chapel.
