| The view from our bach |
The heavens [and earth] declare the glory of God
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
- Psalm 19:1-4
My wonderful wife has a knack for finding amazing holiday places at bargain basement rates and found this great kiwi "bach" (beach house) in the Coromandel for Derek and me to spend our last few days. It comes with kayaks.
Between bouts of studying for his exams, we managed to get out onto the bay.
Undeterred by the forces of nature, and in honor of all the intrepid explorers through the centuries, we steeled ourselves for the task, and set out. Twenty minutes later, the heavens parted, like Moses' hair in a Far Side cartoon, and the sun shone brightly through the depleted ozone hole. Few things declare the glory of God like a rainbow. And we've seen a bunch these last few days.
