Artist as Traveler, Part 3

Our last field trip of the workshop took us to Vézelay. It was a quiet Monday morning when we arrived and we shared the site with very few others. Something about the Place in front of the cathedral filled me with a sense of awesomeness as I entered it this time. Called, The Eternal Hill, I was struck by it’s dramatic history, it’s endurance through the ages, it’s marvelous beauty, and the symbol this site represents as the center of peace in the world. As Holly put it, much better than I could, “it was just divine.” Being there for a few hours had a very healing affect.
