Matterhorn Moment

“Nature and Grace are in harmony with each other.” Julian of Norwich

Greetings from Zermatt, Switzerland and what a train ride we had today from Geneva to Zermatt. We spent about 4 hours to get here today and though it started in the rain it quickly changed to blue skies and sunshine during the train ride. The weather checks we did the days before we left did not sound good. It looked like we were going to be in the middle of a Spring snowstorm and both of us prepared ourselves that we not likely to see the Matterhorn.

After arriving in Zermatt, we were very hungry, so we headed to a restaurant for lunch (which was amazing). We then started walking to our hotel when we had a moment of shear grace. The Matterhorn cleared and we got to see it in all its glory!! What a huge surprise!!! We just sat there and stared at it and took lots of photographs. It was a stunning moment in nature when everything aligns in that perfect moment. It was just total grace that we arrived at just the moment when it cleared. It was not more than and hour later and it was all covered up with clouds and was snowing in town! I have been out in nature enough to know how brief this moments happen. What a great anniversary gift it was for us to see this gorgeous mountain since we got married on a mountain 45 years ago.

Can not wait to see what magic Zermatt brings to us tomorrow!

On the path together,

John
