Cleft Of The Rock


In my travels, I have observed another theme for the photos I am capturing along the way. I am reminded of the spiritual hymn Cleft Of The Rock. Along the way, I have been amazed at the beauty of flowers in nature, that are literally growing in the "cleft of the rock" This particular photo is of Indian Paintbrush and another wildflower, existing in all its grandeur on the top of Sentinel Dome, at an elevation of 8122' in Yosemite National Park. The top of the rock promontory is just that; solid rock. Yet the wildflowers grow in all their beauty, apparently with all that they need, somehow provided by nature from the cleft in the rock. The lesson is clear for me. All that I need is provided day by day as I dwell in the "Cleft Of The Rock." Posted by Picasa
