A sabbatical experience...


The dawn has coloured the clouds a light bluish grey and the mountains are navy blue with light grey clouds hovering over the top. Patches of bright orange manifests the determination of the rising sun amidst the darkening clouds. The rising sun will win this 'battle' but, for now, the clouds that darken are holding the eternal sky.

The beauty here that my eyes have captured and wistfully seeks to retain cannot be justified by a mere photo shot. God's transcendence as seen here in the exalted array of clouds, mountains and trees with the glorious rising sun breaking through... is only viably seen through God's gift of sight!

The camera - like many other human devices, has obviously 'failed' me! The numerous shots I've taken [beautiful though they may seem to be] clearly manifests this failure :(

Ultimately, it is only in sitting before this awesome sight - glorious splendor of God's creation at the dawn of a new day - that I am filled with the totality of God's infinite goodness and love!

What more can I say but "Abba, Thank You!"
