Finding the Founding Father

in Worldmappin25 days ago

Welcome stranger,
I'm glad to see you again, come closer, I have a story for you.
I had a dream, a lucid dream, some nights ago.
In my dream, I find myself on a serene hill in France.
And there, appears before me, like a vision....

As I approach, the chapel’s thick, curving walls and sweeping roof seem to breathe, moving like a living sculpture. The roof floats above, as if defying gravity, allowing beams of light to slip through and dance around me.

Inside, I am enveloped in a space that is both simple and profound. The walls are alive with colors from irregular, stained-glass windows. The light filters through, creating a mesmerizing play of light and shadow, making the concrete walls glow with a warm, almost magical hue. Ahead, the altar stands under a slender, bright window, glowing with an ethereal light, drawing me closer.

It is more than a building. It is a sanctuary where peace and reflection are tangible. The chapel feels as if it has grown naturally from the hill itself. In this space, I feel a deep connection to the architecture, as if it touches my very soul.

As I take in the scene, a Japanese man sits quietly in a corner, meticulously sketching the interior of the chapel, capturing its essence with each stroke of his pencil. His presence adds a sense of reverence to the space, as if he too is trying to understand the mysteries held within these walls.

Outside, a gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers tended to by a kindly gardener, urging me to awake from this enchanting dream and return to the world beyond. Reluctantly, I open my eyes, but the memory of Notre Dame du Haut lingers, a testament to the power of architecture to touch the soul.

And so be it stranger, now you can share what you learned to your kids and to your people, for there won't be forgotten the beautiful Chapel of Ronchamp.

Goodbye , farewell

That's an interesting dream. I don't remember dreaming about any place I want to visit on this world but I guess that's some sort of travelling too until you get to taste the real feeling.
