Postcard from Busselton

A trip to Western Australia brought Laurel to the famous Busselton Jetty - a 1.8 km timber-piled jetty stretching out into the Indian Ocean - the longest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. 

Initially built for practicality, the jetty is now a tourist destination and even features on postcards.

The way it reaches out with such purpose is similar to prayer - an extension towards the eternal.

But the main difference, of course, is the fact that we didn’t build the jetty between us and God. He did. But we still get to enjoy it. We can walk its length at any given moment and commune with Him.
