I actually got a 'God-shiver' when I looked out from Boroka Lookout in the Grampians yesterday. The view was so awe-inspiring, the scale of it all so overwhelming.
Tho' nearly half the park has been burnt it is starting to regrow but the untouched places are the ones that really speak to me of God..the gully nearly a kilometre long, full of bright gold wattle, the dry area at the north of the park blooming like a garden, and all of it so incredibly complex, no matter how closely a details person like me looks at it.
Despite the burning, there were masses of wallabies and roos, four types at least, and so many birds including at least one new to us. Two beautiful blue herons perched in a dead tree just behind where we were staying, huge and still for us to feast on with our binoculars.
I needed this beauty so badly, and it was so much better than expected on a midwinter break. It relaxes me to contemplate the intricate relationships and deeply satisfying forms in Creation.
