The peaceful time

Yesterday I went to St Andrews. 

I prayed in the Catholic church as I used to do when I lived there. 

In the empty church, the sun was silently coming through the stained glass. 

Someone had lit a candle in front of the St Mary statue. 

I like the warmth of the lit candles in the church. 

Yesterday also I could feel the warmth of the candle light. 

There is another small entrance door in the church building called 'holy door', through which a small garden is unfolded. 

Since the church perched on a cliff along the sea, from the garden I can look over the beach

It was so sunny yesterday that I decided to walk for a while along the beach. 

The cloud intermittently changed the shade of the beach from bright to gray and from gray to bright. 

It was a warmth that I realised I'd wanted to feel on the beach.

I haven't felt it for a while since I moved to Edinburgh. 

Although there were some sunny days in Edinburgh, it was a different kind of warmth that I felt there. 

I liked and enjoyed the blue warmth of the sunny beach in St Andrews. 

I felt peaceful after a long time since this Summer. 

I was grateful for all I was given ...  the sun, the air, the sea and the peaceful time.
