Eyes down, eyes up

Today was a short walk for Janet, starting early, although full of lovely things. But we were done by lunchtime, and while Janet went for a rest, I wandered around a bit on the Three Lochs Way, and went to see the Arrochar community hydroelectric scheme. This can generate 120kW, although (despite the area’s reputation for rainfall) there was nothing when I passed.

Janet is brilliant at looking at the close up things – flowers, and small creatures. She is also good at noticing the big stuff on the horizon, and the scenery in general.

I, however, am more exclusively a landscape person. This is Ben Arthur, and I’m still not sure which of these bizarre rocky lumps is The Cobbler…

God, we praise you
for the glorious randomness of creation,
for things that don’t quite seem to make sense,
for things whose sense only begins to appear
beyond the breaking of all things.
We thank you for Jesus,
whose suffering and brutal execution make no sense:
we thank you for Jesus, the risen life within us.
