The most sorcerous place I have ever been
to is Mont St. Michel, a lofty mountain in the
sea just off the French coast. Staring up at this towering abbey silhouetted
against the stormy, grey sky, I remember feeling
like the main protagonist in the greatest fantasy movie of all time. I cannot put my finger on it, but there is something
about this mountain that makes you feel the magic in the air. I forgot about
the busses full of tourists, could no longer hear the
screaming toddlers. I was oblivious to the
Japanese shutterbugs with their “OOOOH” and
“AAAAH”. Wandering through the little streets, I decided never to go back to the other world again. Transfixed, I stood there in the back of the abbey, surrounded by whispering nuns, massive
granite walls and rays of sunlight dancing on the floor and felt
like I was having a religious vision around me. Awestruck by
all the majesty around me, I exactly knew that
this was the place I had
always belonged to, the place I visited
at night in my dreams when I was a little girl. Life is not worth it, I decided, until you have
experienced the magic of Mont St. Michel.
And this is true!
Go there and see it!
Seriously!
