I, to the hills..

Belfast is a city of history, some dark and some life changing. The hills that stand proud of the modern sprawl have overlooked the city, over millennia, in silence. Nature reminds me of the limits of human endeavour... No matter how intelligent we become, we cannot create nature. It stands out above and beyond our reach, our follies... it remains solid. As a believer, it points me to a creator God, but you don't need to have a religious faith to be in awe of nature's powers and beauty. No wonder the psalmist encouraged us to lift our eyes to the hills, to look above and beyond that which weighs us down.
