August 10th, 1998 (DAY 4 Con't)
After breakfast WE (It's not easy to do something on your own these days),
returned to the church to take some more pictures, this time we
came back especially for a stained glass window beneath the altar. "Mary
Magdalen, drying Jesus feet with her hair, after having washed them with
her tears."And yet again came ANOTHER theory about "Marie Madeleine" (as the French say) out of Bruna's mouth.
Obviously the "Marie Madeleine" was "beaucoup important" and "beaucoup
étrange" for her..Where had I heard this before??
ENOUGH!!
I'm sorry, but I just DON'T believe that Marie Magdalen is STILL alive, lying in some cave somewhere near!!!
After this followed yet ANOTHER long discussion about Marie Magdalen, UFO’s, The power that Mary Magdalen gave to Jesus and thereby lost her femininity, growing of fur, etc..etc...
Too crazy to listen to! Even David Wood can learn something from this woman!!!
This time I decided to stand up for myself and told her directly what I
thought about all this crap.
All of a sudden I lost my position high up on the throne, and I suddenly
wasn't as NOBLE as she thought I was. According to her, I was STUBBORN.
I had to make sure that I would let this mystery sink into my HEART in
stead of my mind...
yeah yeah...
BLABLABLA..
But well, tomorrow Bruna has to change hotels, since her room is booked
for someone else, and I'm not really sad about that fact.
(Honestly, I think our hosts just want to get rid of her..)
In short, I need something NEW to happen, something refreshing...but well,
until now every day had it's charm, so I think I won't complain.
Oh yes, Bruna HAD seen a cave and admittedly I think she's right, hidden in
the landscape is what appears to be a shadow between the rocks. Using
binoculars shows it is not a shadow, more so it does LOOK like the
entrance of a cave! That's what Lotje and I'll be doing this evening, on to
adventure!!
(Note: By now I've given up ANY idea of OCCULT treasure, but I DO believe in
some dark secret from Christianity)
After diner, Lotje and I went out with a flashlight, the light was dimming
but yet we insisted on going on..the road was very strange...well not the
road itself, but the WALK on the road, again I felt like eyes were watching
us and then all of a sudden I saw movements in the fields...cats...STRANGE
cats: very slink, very black, very unusual...they reminded me of a mixture
of a rabbit, a cat and a rat.
Anyway, the road was full of them, jumping in front of our feet, running in
the fields, coming back..in fact it was just plain scary! (note that I
usually LOVE cats and am not afraid of them)
Already half on the road to the cave, the moon dissapeared, which made it
impossible for us to
go on, there was nothing else for us to do then turn back...
We both thought it to be rather weird that just THIS night it was impossible
for us to go on..ah well.
Tomorrow we'll go to Carcassonne, so hopefully this opens some new
perspectives, meeting a couple of Belgians would be nice!
But why do I keep feeling ..that something awaits us?
Perhaps I just WANT something to happen...who knows!
