This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love; the more they give, the more they possess.

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 – 1926)

Memories

His journey’s just begun

Don’t think of him as gone away
his journey’s just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.

The Knight's Fresco

The Knight's Fresco

Fragments of the knights’ fresco can be seen on the barrel ceiling above the cross seen in the previous post.  This is the only room of the castle to have kept a fragment of its medieval decor (thought to be late 12th century).
