CHURCH BELLS
by Alan Ewing
"The Pyramid", the first thing I see when stepping out of the front door on to the top floor landing. This is being restored. Next door to me, it is a modernist RC Church. No Bells allowed. Well if it had been possible to have them, then nothing would have given me greater joy than to hear something along this line of Le Campane di Baruccana Fraz. di Seveso with a similar design. (MB)
It's sad that Sunday is losing them. They always bring such a sense of peace, something away from the other six days of politics, greed, war, hunger, extreme poverty all over the world. And enable us to remember The Creator. They give renewal, perspective, contemplation and meditation. You could be in a field or even in bed hearing them: there is no condition to join a club. God is where you are. They give us spiritual strength to fight for social and economic justice as we step back into Monday. To lose them is to lose our very souls themselves. Be refreshed in hearing them here, if you wish. Remember to keep a spark of God in your heart; that way you won't get lost in the whirlpool of hatred that threatens to overcome The One who said "Love One Another" - There is only One Messiah, who comes from God. So Blessings & Love, and True Peace is my prayer for us all.
