landslide


I remember in highschool doing a project for geography on landslides. Part of the project included pictures of the Hope slide. Pretty ugly. The highway was washed away, trees ripped out, a big scar carved across the hillside.

Today you would find the roads repaired and new plants growing. Perhaps if you didn't know about the slide you would never suspect there was one.

It's the same place, the landscape is just different now.... permanently changed. Changed that is, until the next slide

So many things are like that. If you didn't know about it you would never suspect it.

you're post got me to thinking over the last couple of days, about how nature takes over and reshapes things. and humans continue to reshape things as well.

I was comparing this to the landcape of my mind and soul and how God has to the power to completely transform it, as do I. Sometimes we compete for this power, and sometimes we work together.

All in all... I am pretty sure it wasnt be who rebuilt my landslide. =)
