Most Easterly Point
I had originally taken video of this spectacular site, however the videos decided that they didn’t want to work on my blog. So I said “Ok videos, have it your way. I’ll just use pictures.” and so thats what I’m now doing.
These pictures, as with the videos, could never come near capturing the beauty found on this point. Although we went on a day lacking the deserved illumination, the appeal of the area was no less radiant. The waves crashing around this small peninsula created the most peaceful ambiance, with enough white noise to drown out the sounds of every day society. On this point it’s as if time stands still and nothing is as important as being in the moment given. As the stress from yesterday and fears of tomorrow fade into the back ground, you find yourself looking over the still horizon, silencing your concerns with the sounds of the waves crashing around you.
I found a peace here, different from any other place I’ve been. The fact that God has the ability to create something so majestically commodious, making me feel small and special all in one, has me in awe.
At the end of our venture, and while heading back to the bus, we saw a small group of people huddled over the railing, looking intently into to the great expanse of nothing. We stood for a while, not expecting much, but still taking in the beauty of the stillness. Then as we turned to go and as if on cue, the spout and tail of a humpback crested. And has we stood in shock the rest of the migrating family came up for air. Not a hundred yards away from where we were standing, and more than ten times our size, these giants passed with grace unknown to the likes of us. It was truly a God moment.
