Erlendur Haraldsson - Winter 1955/56 - London Oxford Street

----------------------------------------------------------

In his early youth Erlendur had a transformative experience

When I was around 15, I became like reborn to myself,
and became aware of some inner reality that was also mysteriously external,
and so immensely greater than anything I had experienced or been aware of before.
It started suddenly in heavy rain during the middle of the day,
near some banks of pebbles on the seashore that lit up
as the sun suddenly shone and reflected on them.
Then I had the experience of being filled with light
that was immensely delightful and beyond words.
After a while this faded away but a vivid trace of it remained with me
and would sometimes – especially in my youth – sweep over me again.
After that there was never a doubt that there existed a superior/supernatural reality
that was sometimes closer and sometimes further away from my normal self.
