Things I wonder about

The human's ability to appreciate beauty seems so unnecessary, and yet it is here. There is something to be said for an extravagant creator--it makes you scratch your head a little, too.

The idea of a creator that is willing and able to spill the paint, and go the extra yardage to bring something to an aesthetic place of interest and rest and fullness all at the same time.

This amazing God we have also knows his color theory, by the way. There is a constant resonance and balance through all of nature and in scientific discoveries where phenomenon are photographed.

It is somehow playful, thoughtful, serious, happy and sad all at once; never for lack of emotion, unless ignored completely, even man made places have little plants and grass peeking though the crevasses or littered with nature through the seasons.

In many wonderful ways our God is extravagant and generous and wants us to experience beauty.
