Photos of Isaiah’s Hopeful Imagination. 1. Deserts and Flowing Rivers

P1000327Isaiah's hopeful imagination for a people used to desert, wilderness and land made barren by the absence of water:
 
"I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs." (Isaiah 41.18)
 
I know Advent majors on the symbol of light – but when it rains, use your imagination. This small weir flows out of a lochan currently filled and still filling with rainwater. Over the summer this was a waterless waterfall.
 
God does this kind of thing when inwardly the heart feels like a waterless waterfall.
 
"Thou flowing water pure and clear, make music for thy Lord to hear."
 
Aye. That. Happy Advent.
