Limestone pavement, a thin place

Psalm 40

Today we went for a walk on the cliffs. It was about 6km. The terrain was varies. Sometimes we strode along a vermillion track wide enough for a cart. Other parts of the route were tracks which seemed to have been created by rabbits for rabbits, narrow ways through rosemary and rock rose. There were steep descents on loose stones or pebble covered steps, both quite treacherous. By far the easiest pathway was that over the limestone pavements which abound on the cliffs of the Algarve. Walking was easy in these places, And with the sun shining on the blue Atlantic there was a song in my heart. It was a 'thin place'.
