Flight - Leaving Doubt And Disbelief

On being invited for a flight with the Roc, well, neither I nor Belenus would

refuse. Donkeys can easily balance on the back of a bird like this so we

hopped on. Belenus made sure we wore our glasses and put aside the

anchor we had. "You are always doubting and disbelieving," hissed Belenus

as the bird told us of the wonders of the ages. "You can talk!" I said back, wind

whistling in my hair at such a high altitude. "And keep your voice down! We

don't want to look like fools."

The Roc was telling us we were headed to the Land of Colours, to take tea

with the sea maids and learn some wisdom. I liked the sound of this, and it

wasn't until I got back, that I wrote in my journal and knew it made sense.

It was only then that I could shed the skin of cynicism, the shades of

doubt and disbelief...

Here are some pictures taken, the only ones allowed

from the journey.

It was filled with unusual things, colours,

things we had never seen before,

and everything was tinged with gold.
