For Byron... 'Cause it's been too long :-P
If you've ever walked amidst a field of wildflowers, you will see how different each flower is... how some are robust and vibrant, while others are so fragile and delicate that even a gentle breeze ruffles the petals and presses the buds to the earth. Every petal and stem is different, but all the flowers came from seeds that looked nearly identical. Little tiny dots of color, pepper the ground --so easily trampled or crushed.
The beauty of this world reflects the Creator
Is it practical? No. Is it efficient? Not really. Is it a picture of uniformity? Certainly not.
I wonder, "God, why are these flowers not kept out of harm's way? Why don't they grow tall enough to be kept from trampling feet? Why are the petals so delicate and soft, stripped by the wind and so easily undone?" It's an amazing thought to consider that our perfect, holy, majestic God is not concerned, only, with "efficiency". He's not hung up on "practicality". He's not devoted to "uniformity". The same way that a painted canvas reflects the artist, so the beauty of this world reflects the Creator who poured droplets of Himself in all that He has made.
God makes beautiful things
This picture makes me smile... Reminds me of a recent moonrise that I had the pleasure of seeing. Full moon rising over distant lavender hills, washed in periwinkle hues and accompanied with cotton candy clouds.
This photo transports me to this lovely place of carefree beauty. Maybe it's a dream land... or a hope of what's to come. :-)
God makes beautiful things.
Savor it.
