Delayed this time by a power cut! The storm last night has blown trees down on the power lines, leaving Bute and Cowal without power for half of today. A little reminder of how vulnerable we are to a little weather.

At work- no computers, no phones, no mobile telephones (masts down too.) If you are vulnerable, no stair lifts, no e-care, no anti-pressure beds, no hot food, no heating. Scary really, just how dependent we are on something so artificial. Well done Dave and the boys for getting it back on in record time…

But back to the matter in hand- Psalm 148, the wonder of it all…

Look carefully at this picture. At first all black- but when you look again…

⁵ Let them praise the name of the LORD, 
for at his command they were created,
⁶ and he established them for ever and ever— 
he issued a decree that will never pass away.

Light waves falling

.

Some blazing hot

The noon we circle round

Some a warm reflection

Smiling in the night sky

Some a tender starlight flicker

Almost unnoticed

.

All of it made-

Not manufactured

Crafted-

Not mass produced

.

Fractals of the infinite

Particles of the Divine

Making a prism of my soul
