God's Window

"So young for death, we walk in shoes too bigBut you play it like a poet like you always didAnd I lay face upturned on the palm of GodPushed on by the fingertips of dreamsThey haunted me, consoling me
And I would like to call, call it beautyStrained as love's become, it still amazes meAnd I would like to call it beautyBeauty, beauty, beauty"
Corinne Bailey Rae "I'd like to call it beauty."
The first verse of this song is the only way I know how to describe our trip to God's Window. Serene, complete and vast. The area is a reason if you needed one to believe that God is real. How it reduces you to a minute detail and puts into perspective the fraction on mass you are compared to the earth is a feeling everyone must find - humbling.
It reminded me of a quote I liked in Life Of Pi "It moved with the slow, massive confidence of a continent." 
We arrived on a dark, wet Friday evening and didn't see much going there, but even in the dark, one can feel the sheer grandeur of the mountains that the road winds around, meandering up and down all the way to Graskop. 
In the morning, after a brief drive through the tiny pancake shop filled town we went out to see the sites. God's Window itself was breath taking but there are also a number of other sites to see along the entire Pavilion area between God's Window and Sabie. We saw water falls and mountain passes and each other - in a calmer less city-saturated way, that's one of the nicest things about going away...you get to stop and see each other :)
We ate at an old train station styled diner  and drove along the wormy path back home in the thickest fog I've ever seen in my life! - every bit of it was amazing.

Snaps!

The fog lifted to give us a peek, like God had opened his curtain :)
