My Distorted Dream

2017-02 / Brussels, Belgium

This church near the main square of Brussels is very near and dear to me personally. After being awake for more than 24 hours and taking a 12-hour bus ride from Prague to Brussels, I still couldn't check in to my hotel for another 2 hours. I'd been wandering around all morning and was thoroughly exhausted from my travels and felt I was nearer to death than ever before through lack of sleep. It was then that I found this church. Small and unassuming and very quiet on the inside. I sat respectfully on a seat looking up towards Jesus on the cross and closed my eyes for about an hour and a half. Deep in prayer, the passers-by may have thought; but, in reality, completely unconscious. Without that church I may have lost my entire mind.
