The "Happy Place" aka Eastern University

I went to visit my daughter in Pennyslvania today, and this afternoon, we went for a walk to the campus of Eastern University--a location we call "the happy place."  It's a Christian university that integrates faith, reason and justice into the curriculum, and the deeply-rooted spirituality that exists there is palpable. It's difficult to explain, but the moment I step foot on the grounds, there is a feeling of peace and serenity that washes over me.  It is a place that exudes positivity, and hope, and yes, happiness.

These are two photos I took today--they barely do this beautiful place justice.
