The New Jerusalem

The wonderful view from Alexander Heights looking west.  The words, “You are the light of the world.  A city built on a hilltop cannot be hidden,” (Mt. 5:14) naturally come to me as I gaze on this place (Barrio Rio Grande and Sunset Heights), this view that contains so much of my own personal history, and family history as well.

This is another short stop on journey to the East, “die Heimat und Jugend der Seele” (the home and youth of the soul), the fair, shining streets like those of the New Jerusalem.
