Friday was a holiday and like other city dwellers, we climbed up a hill not far away. There are two hills in the valley which stick up like giant green pimples. When we reached the top we sat on a wall, looked over the city and watched the kite fliers just in front of us.
Kite flying is a seasonal hobby that comes with the winter winds. The kites are home-made using bamboo supports and are up to 3 metres long. One of them flew across the valley and was a distant dot. Others arose vertically towards the flight path of planes approaching the city airport. Another dipped dangerously low and Olwen became most concerned for its well-being but wisely resisted the temptation to get involved.
I just love sitting on a wall and being part of ordinary society. I'd like to think it's an example of incarnational theology, but maybe it's that I'm just too worldly.
