  1. Primal Beauty

    Even in the things we cannot see,
    In the forest where no person hikes
    In the fall leaves no one sees
    In the stars and galaxies we haven’t yet discovered
    In the snowfall that melts before it is noticed
    In life beneath the seas
    In the eternal fire of the sun
    In the simple water that keeps us alive
    In the growth of trees
    In the bulb that comes alive in the soil
    In the pyramidal neurons in our brains
    There is primal beauty.

    And if beauty is that important to the creator
    think again,
    about all of the things and people we can see.
    Enjoy

  2. Very nice. That propensity for the appreciation of beauty in us is tightly bonded with those things of beauty. We are never as alone or alienated as we sometimes think.

  3. The stars are very bright tonight. I mean, the neurons are firing and working overtime.

    I'm making lists:
    Chores to do
    Things to be thankful for
    People to call
    People to text 
    Gifts to buy and wrap
    Bills to pay

    And, I'm asking questions. I have so many questions. So many questions and very few answers. 

    Who can I talk to about this? Where do I start? How do I start? What's the question, really?

    So, I'm lit up like the clear night sky and I see no sense in it at all. 

    But, I hold on to the thread of hope that the Creator knows what to make of it, can see the beauty that can come of it, the life that will flourish in the midst of it, that it will be - no, that it is - good.
