Llandwyn Island Anglesey
St Llandwyn church of the blessed
She was the daughter of Brecon and very beautiful. She loved a prince but was promises to someone else. Her love was turned to ice. She was granted three desires. One to see him unfrozen, to never want to be married and to help those in love . She came to Ynys Llandwyn and became a nun.
Sitting by the tall cross looking out over the sea we can glimpse Holyhead Mountain, church on the island, Snowdonia, Llyn Peninsula and even Bardsey.
It is an incredibly beautiful place in the natural bit there is such a purity in the Spirit realm. It is a still, calm place on this sunny late afternoon. There os a gentle breeze and a hush. Time stands still.
Standing on the edge of the world
Time stops
I step into the realm of eternity
To link my heart with yours.
What beauty poured from the heart of God
When you painted this place upon the earth
What joy and delight were upon your breath as you spoke this it into being
I cannot help but marvel
I cannot help but sit in awe
Lost for words
There are none broad enough
Wide enough
High enough
Deep enough
To capture this wonder
All I can do is say
Thank you
And thank you foe the privilege of being here to experience it
Oh the majesty of the mountains
The wild sweep of dunes and sea
The expanse of open sky where birds fly free
A skylark trills in perfect harmony
And I am left with the sound of swell softly breaking below me
A gentle breeze caresses my face as seabirds call relaxed and at home on the ragged rocks
Yet strangely so am I
Out here beyond the world’s edge
Out here where skyscape and landscape merge
I am most at home
Because I sense you all around me
Your love personified in the magnificence, the beauty, the detail, the care
I thought I was too old to reach such a place and am humbled
To tears that you’ve enabled me to come
What goodness you lavish upon me
So few understand
But you do
My heart is completely at home here
In this place where my sister dwelt all those centuries ago
Her home
I get it
What a place to dwell, to live, to pray
I suddenly sense Jesus sitting besides me. ‘I love it too kathy. It is a glimpse of heaven. Oh you will love it there and I can’t wait to share its beauty with you for all eternity. But for now I am refreshing you, letting you linger. I have heard your deepest cry for fellowship with me and I have been drawn to come close. Just as I saw if you draw near to me I will draw near to you. Be in this moment. Tune in to the sounds. Let them envelop you. It is so good to share this together with you precious daughter. Just fellowship with no agenda. Being together as one. ‘
I realise as I am sitting here there’s no hint pf sadness or melancholy that this moment will pass. I am living it outside time and will carry it with me always.
