Din raidurile mele prin inima Scoţiei (20) [From my forays into Scotland's heartland]

“Many waters cannot quench love…” [“Marea nu poate stinge dragostea…”]
I crossed the white pedestrian bridge (built in 1881), took a glance at the daffodills, then followed a little alley, with the church (I don’t know which ‘Church of Scotland’ it was) on my right & the graveyard to my left.
Then I saw quote the shown in the fourth picture from the Song of Songs on the pavement: “Many waters cannot quench the love, nor can rivers wash it away (…)”
“(…) If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned”. I had gone to the UK broken-hearted, and the fabulous experience cured me.
As I gazed at the old tombstones through the young grass, I realized that we won’t pass beyond the grave with our experiences (no matter how spectacular or dull they were), but with our love.
Two months later, God would bring into my life the person to whom this peculiar blog post (as if they weren’t all pretty weird!) is especially addressed.
The Lord has been giving me a lot of blessings, along with humbling circumstances, as we all have a cross to bear. But what I yearned for and what I’m most grateful for is such a love.

[EN] A few wonders from the UK / [RO] Câteva minunăţii din UK (2)
[EN] During the day, this building is used as a Sheriff Court (a courthouse in the Scottish Justice System). At nightime, it looks as beautiful as any major touristic objective, therefore I though it is worth showing to others. [RO] În timpul zilei, această clădire este folosită drept o Curte a Şerifului (o instanţă din Sistemul Judiciar scoţian). Noaptea, arată la fel de frumos precum orice obiectiv turistic major, astfel că am socotit că merită să-l arăt şi altora.
