Nunnery Wall

Another view of the Nunnery. Mystery, isn't it, how a ruin can be truly beautiful. Should there be interest, we can dream of what it once was or will be when resource and will are raised to restore it.

John Keats, the famous Romantic poet, wrote that "beauty is truth and truth is beauty." The present beauty of the Nunnery is incomplete. While a lovely space for contemplation, what is left of the nunnery can no longer minister to pilgrims in the way it was designed to; no one will find shelter or rest beyond daytime visits. Until restored, the Nunnery is little more than a relic--an historic landmark and witness as stones and mountains are always understood to be.
