Another photograph from yesterday's visit to the Falls of Clyde - part of the Corra Linn.I used the old trick of a slow exposure to show the movement of the water over the stones. It reminds me of the passage of time which, as the years roll on, seems to get faster and faster. When so much around us is changing so fast, we all look for something firm and solid to hang on to - what T. S. Eliot called "the still point in the turning world"*
I find that still point through my faith in God. Not that my faith itself is any more stable or secure than anything else in my life - but I believe God is. He is the still point. The Rock. He is bigger, stronger, 'older' than anything else in the Universe. And, unlike the rocks that form the gorge through which the Clyde makes it way towards New Lanark, He is not eroded or diminished by the passage of time, or the events of history.
(* see Burnt Norton by T.S. Eliot)
By the way, I've just been given a sneak preview of a new Carluke Community website. Once it is officially online, I'll post the link.
