.smoke that thunders

One of the clearest memories I have is my 6th birthday in Africa. We went to Victoria Falls, one of the seven wonders of the natural world. This is where I developed my fear of heights and showers. The waterfalls are massive. As I stood there, carefully holding the wisteria-wrapped railing, I saw the enormity of the world, and the smallness of myself. I remembered my mind just opening up.. That whole place was so gorgeous, Eden couldn’t have been more perfect.

My experience at Victoria Falls was both a fearful and fearless one. At that time, I realized how great God is, how He created such a marvelous, thunderous… and how He created little, ‘ole 6 year old me. There was beauty in both of us.
