Holy Island (Lindisfarne)

Chaplaincy trip to Holy Island in Northumbria, also known as Lindisfarne.

A cloud of witnesses. To whom? To what?
To the small fire that never leaves the sky.
To the great fire that boils the daily pot.

To all the things we are not remembered by,
Which we remember and bless. To all the things
That will not notice when we die,

Yet lend the passing moment words and wings...

Louis MacNeice (1907-1963), excerpt from Fanfare for the Makers
