Little Red in Cockers Dale wood

This is me, playing 'A Touching Place' by John Bell, Iona Community. I played a version, and sang a version in the wood. Now i have to get to grips with 'Audacity' It will be the sound track while people view.

Interior of San Damiano

This is the interior courtyard of San Damiano, in Assisi. St Clare and St Francis lived here. Its a bit Rachel Whiteread-ish. I sat in this space and it was so meditative and peaceful, I could almost feel the prayers of hundreds of years pressed into this shape - the shape of the interior cloister, which would have been enclosed at the time of St Clare (1290 ish).
