The Cascades of Leura Falls
One of my favourite moments: while hiking towards Leura Falls,
I especially loved sitting on a lone bench atop a cliff-side cavern and
listening to the other-worldly crashing of the cascades below me. I remember
taking out my precious little Kobo E-reader while munching on a tuna sandwich
and soaking in the thought-provoking literature of Bonhoeffer. That was my
heaven on earth: just me, my God, His creation, a simple lunch, and a brilliant
book.
In
the words of Bonhoeffer, the infamous German theologian, pastor, spy
& martyr, 'I feel the least lonely when I am alone.' Breath-taking
moments in solitude, the rush of the cascades beneath, the stillness of
the forest, the grandeur of the
mountains. Sitting there reading Bonhoeffer's inspiring biography &
savoring a simple sandwich, I know for myself that his words are true,
when you are alone, you know in the fullest sense that God is with you.
Sending all my love,
Janielle
