Reeds
On the weekend I will start a new series looking at Tasmania's Central Highlands and the world heritage area of Lake St Clair. So we really will be in the natural environment for the most part.
So to finish here with a simple scene from Nature will serve to remind us that civilisations come and go. As the poor indigenous people learned just over 200 years ago, patterns of life that have been followed for thousands of years can be wiped out in a moment.
We are but reeds, someone once remarked to the great French Polymath, Blaise Pascal (1623-1662). To which he replied, "Ah, but we are thinking reeds."
Fragile, yet gifted with the one thing that sets us apart as a species, we are the only ones with a godlike vision. We are made in the image of God. It is our choice then whether to fulfil our godlike destiny and let the earth flourish, or turn like Lucifer and demonically destroy our very foundations.
We are but reeds, but pray God we are truly THINKING reeds!
