Life after Festivals

So the summer is over and the canvas festival season of Leading Edge, Keswick, Greenbelt and others is done for another while. But what is it that we come back to and have our trips away helped us with what is to come?

I'm reading George MacDonald's Fairy Tales at the moment and in one called The Shadows after a mortal has returned from a mysterious journey to the Shadow Church, he offers these few lines:

This made it the more likely that he had seen a true vision; for instead of making common things look commonplace, as a false vision would have done, it had made common things disclose the wonderful that was in them.

Have a wonder full day ... and may your vision be beauty full.
