22 Oct 09 Chartres Cathedral. Dante.

Having thought of Chartres Cathedral and Dante for more decades than I can remember, I consider it a blessing that he chose to guide me there. The Queen of Heaven, to whom I prayed as a child, found me, I hope, not entirely unworthy of her grace and mercy, though we human beings, from that perspective, are always undeserving. Europe, a hallowed tale, in colored glass.
