Gerald Sterling
Caretaker and restoration artist
It was a romantic moon lit evening when I
accompanied the bride and groom for a walk onto
Goat Island and then on to Luna Island.
The moon seemed to pierce through the
somewhat cloudy sky casting a gleaming ray onto
the waters reflecting the creative beauty of our
God.
It was as though we were conveyed beyond the
dimension of time. Our senses were captivated by
the beauty of creation; we ourselves a part of the
creation as well, and for the twinkling moments
our essence of nature blended into eternity.
The magical moments transformed our souls into
living energy of intertwined lace, with the threads
woven into a encrypted script to be read only in
ages on into eternity.
Horatio Parsons 1828
