Bell.the Church bell.

The sound of the church bell ,touches some place so deep in me ,so pure,
always gives a feeling of peace,love,and as if the heart expands.
everything is sacred.I did not live in a place where I heard the church bell,but I used to keep playing
The sound of music ,the part where Mariah is blissfully lost in the nature up the mountain and suddenly the sound of the bell ringing penetrates to her.
I do not even know how many times I used to hear that and get lost in the beauty of the sound.
There is a true story a nun friend of mine had told me,in a small hilly village of Europe two men used to come home after drinking and every night they used to pass the church .As they passed the bell would ring ,it was a regular  happening and as we know nothing is an accident .They both joined the monastery .And it was quite a reflection on those days .Some visitor to the monastery asked the Father if this was a story or truth ------and the Father while walking around  said yes it was the truth
Pointed to a grave and said one lies here and you are looking at the other.
So the sound of the bell  does  touch something Holy in us. It never fails to  stir me and I am sure it has the same effect on all who hears,    Hears.
Thank you .peace be with you.
