Mystical

A few years ago, when our Granddaughter Jemma was here from USA.
We decided to visit the Crystal Castle, Shambala Gardens at Byron Bay.
We flew there in a few hours, hired a car and drove the rest of the way.
Nothing prepared us for what we found. It can’t be described to this day.

There’s nothing like this mystical place, so magically made of dreams.
Where all religions come as one, statues create an ambiance it seems.
I am sure our God intended it as a meeting place, where his love beams.
Paths crystal lined and the size of wondrous crystals is taken to extremes.

A cave encrusted with amethyst when you sit inside it’s hard to believe,
The enchanted feeling this place gives is peace, a wonder to conceive.
Serenity is found in every step, a consciousness, enlightenment weave.
A mystical place where beauty abounds, and we did not want to leave.

Some steadfastly believe that crystals have a healing ability and powers.
I think that God is behind the healing deemed to be that crystal towers.
But still, something lurks, each aura and crystal singing bowl by the hour,
The jewel of Byron makes every other attraction, surely fade and cower.

I urge you to watch the video to see the most amazing place on earth.
True there are statues of Buddha and religious prayer wheels to unearth.
This mystical place isn’t about any religion, It’s the crystals that give it worth. 
I’ve been in the enchanted cave with four others, come out filled with mirth.

There is a place near by me called the Realization Center in Pacific Palisades. Well, it's everything but the Crystals SV. Like you, my nieces are big on that and much more, I was ready at one point to write about my biography, when something dark interrupted me and you at the same time, we may be in line with the good spirits. Let's see what happens.

Definitely good ones my friend, I feel it in my bones, Its time to brush the cob webs off the good times and get them rolling again. I am done with caring about things that should not bother me. Life is too short to be sorrowful about insignificance. I sincerely hope its the same for you ( not saying your problems were insignificant), but in the big scheme of things mine sure were. Every best wish for good vibrations. Your nieces sound delightful thnx for the comment.

Your description makes me want to see that place. I shall definitely watch the video if I get time. It being the meeting place of all religions, the presence or aura of God must be in that place that makes it mystical. Your descriptions are first rate, dear SV

"I am sure our God intended it as a meeting place, where his love beams. Paths crystal lined and the size of wondrous crystals is taken to extremes." Great descriptive writing! Does seem like a wondrous adventure. God is in all matter of vibration...and every particle is His body and voice in a sense. This is where quiet observation brings deep admiration and appreciation.

Joe every word of your enlightened comment is true. The statues in this magical place are mere ornaments, to create ambiance, bur God's love shows in every crystal he created, It is a wonderous peaceful place. Thanks Joe, glad you liked it.
