Meteora | Greece

I consider myself a people person. I cherish my time with family and friends. I am also a very faithful person. As difficult as it may seem for me to dedicate my whole life and being to the monastic lifestyle, there is something profoundly calming and reverent about it. In a valley in the heart of Greece where fertile plain meet soaring peaks, there stands a group of monolithic rocks housing numerous monasteries that seem to hover between Heaven and earth. In these lofty fortresses that reach dizzying heights I found myself at peace and wonderment, as if I too were gazing down from Heaven itself.
