What is in a Name - Mont Road

"The mountain is thought to contain divine inspiration, and it is the focus of pilgrimages of transcendence and spiritual elevation. It is a universal symbol of the nearness of God, as it surpasses ordinary humanity and extends toward the SKY and the heavens. It symbolizes constancy, permanence, motionlessness, and its peak spiritually signifies the state of absolute consciousness. In dreams, a mountain signifies danger, but climbing a mountain depicts inner elevation."

I have a spiritual partner in the garden who lives on Mont Road.  Mont, translated from French, means mountain.   I've always thought of his home and landscape as a spiritual garden full of God's love yet to be revealed.

Why does it seem that a spiritual journey is like climbing a mountain?  Because when we reach the end of our climb which can be difficult and treacherous, the view is amazing!   I now live in Summit Springs which is a source of water and renewal for the mountain.  Although I dreamed of a life on top of the mountain, I now am beginning to long for a small home where I can plant gardens and can retreat into myself.

My name is Elizabeth Ann which translated into Greek and Latin means "oath to God and blessed with grace" and my surname Wakefield translated into Old English means "to awaken or to hold vigil in a field often for religious purposes."  My adopted surname Winchester is Old English for fortress.  My soulmate's first name in Old English means handsome at birth and last name in German means the buckle maker, which forms the symbol for eternity.
