Although our small town diner dinner was an added bonus, we (like most visitors) actually came to Palmyra to visit the Sacred Grove. I have a similar "grove" near my apartment in Michigan -- equally beautiful and peaceful. But the Sacred Grove in Palmyra rendered a feeling that goes beyond the peacefulness of nature -- it felt like a temple. We naturally quit talking and basked in the transcendent spirit that dwells there. I can understand why God chooses to visit his prophets on a mountain or in a forest. The majesty and beauty of His creations undisturbed by human intervention seem an appropriate setting for such sacred communion.
