"Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;"
Luke 3:5
This is John the Baptist quoting Isaiah 40:4, although the wording is slightly different. Isaiah was prophesying about John, at least in part, and John is fulfilling that prophecy, but also talking about something that will really happen... I think both physically and symbolically.
Although I will miss the mountains for sure, I love the idea of rough places being made smooth, both in a larger earth way and in a personal us way, because we have a lot of rough patches. :)
This also seems to be to be symbolic of repentance and wholeness... how God can renew anything... not just repairing, but making it as good as new, including us. :)
Today, let's work with God towards newness and wholeness, in the world and in our individual lives.
