A bright beginning

A weekend gathering led to a memorable moment, Bob Ward, of Aylsham Meeting, tells Eye.

Friends from Norfolk and Waveney Area Meeting recently got together at Belsey Bridge conference centre.

Bob tells us: ‘On the first morning, before breakfast, Brett Fletcher led a silent meditative walk out into the grounds, with occasional pauses to become fully sensitive to our surroundings.

‘We walked slowly in single file until we reached an area of level ground where we formed a circle, quiet and still.

‘Then abruptly the sun rose over the horizon, flooding us with light.

‘We were literally being held in the light. Everyone there was deeply moved. What a start to the day!’
