Lighthouse Park

This weekend we headed to West Vancouver to check out Lighthouse Park, a place where Vancouver's oldest forest is located. So on this crisp clear afternoon we walked amongst 500 year old trees, and just took in the place. At the end of the walk is a point, and the lighthouse, which once proudly stood vigil for the boats traversing these parts. With its light permanently dim now, the lighthouse stands only as a romantic monument to its noble past. And still, there is something about the lighthouse that has such drawing power; is it its symbol of protection? Or maybe it is a testimony of our own light within that shines out to the world. Or perhaps it is symbolic of that hope, that ray of light in the darkness that will guide us through dispairing times? I don't know, but many a people come to this spot ...... to watch in silence.
