AT 163 - 7th September [43.8] (K Day -4)

 

Nahmakanta Stream Lean to


Is it possible that beauty can be too beautiful ? This section is beautiful but it’s beautiful all the time which takes away from the beauty. It makes it kind of boring. I prefer seeing unexpected beauty on the ordinary day. Met Captain, Navigator and Three Tack at lunchtime. They are zeroing beside a lake so we probably won’t see them again. Mosquitoes are bad so setup tent rather than lean to. Had the second swim of the day in stream beside shelter. So relaxing and refreshing. It’s been so hot for the last two day. 




Thought for the day


Psalm 36:9

For with you is the fountain of life;

        in your light do we see light.


This verse got me thinking of light. Because we are now down to 1000 feet the trees are really tall and let in streams of light. Jesus is the light of the world so it’s only in Him do we really understand light. Light that eliminates the darkness. Light that the darkness can never put out. Light that shows us our sin. Light that nothing can hide from. Light that reviles the beauty of Jesus. 


What do they say in the movies, don’t be afraid of the light, run towards it. We don’t have to be dying to run to the true Light.
