"I
love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray
in your church; for you and I are sons of one religion, and it
is the Spirit"
Gibran Khalil Gibran
Unforgettable
Valley
The
Valley filled with incense sweetness has become light-filled space
for me. Here I walk along the gateway traveled by departed souls.
I
step into the holy place. Amid the incense, the murals and the
light. Here, as there I carry with me what is beyond the caves
memories that transcend all time.
Peter
Spielmann
Toute
la vallée des Saints ressemble à une vaste nef naturelle
dont le ciel est le dôme, les crêtes du Liban, les
piliers, et les innombrables cellules des ermites creusées
dans les flancs du rocher, les chapelles. Ces ermitages sont suspendus
sur des précipices qui semblent inabordables. Il y en a,
comme des nids d'hirondelles, à toutes les hauteurs des
parois de la vallée. Les uns ne sont qu'une grotte creusée
dans la pierre; les autres, de petites maisonnettes bâties
entre les racines de quelques arbres, sur les corniches avancées
des montagnes.
Les
plusieurs religieux maronites, hommes simples qui ne visent à
aucune richesse, à aucune renommée dans ce monde.
Travailler, prier, vivre en paix, mourir en grâce et inconnus
des hommes.
Alphonse
de Lamartine
