Is there a greater mode through which God speaks than "the heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork" (Ps. 19:1, NRSV)?DouglasRYounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745174400761699131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559264494172724381.post-36699332859144418412011-09-26T14:06:06.478-04:002011-09-26T14:06:06.478-04:00Lovely post.

I have ...Lovely post. Great food for thought here.<br /><br />I have a number of those unforgettables: one, the view from Table Top mountain in South Africa and, while on safari, coming into view of a magnificent pride of lions; another, driving through the Colorado mountains and having to pull off the road at the summit because the Milky Way came into sight (I've never again seen lights like that).<br /><br />Art can be so compellingly, lullingly beautiful that we can forget why it's being made. I'm thinking of some of the extraordinary photographers of environmental waste, for example. They photograph the beauty in the toxic and it is utterly impelling; their reason for documenting it, though, is to raise awareness so that people will act to stop the damage we're inflicting consciously. <br /><br />Your post also brings to mind the calls by some to spare us images of genocide, for example; one of the dangers of not looking is to be blind to all but what we find praise-worthy.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.com
