nature.

"In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous." - Aristotle(I took this recently at a spot overlooking birmingham.. sometimes the most magnificent things in nature are right before our eyes.. we are just unaware..)

I am constantly finding myself in complete awe of the beauty that is creation.  This greatness that surrounds us daily..  it lures me.  Sometimes as I walk to class and look up at the huge majesty of great oaks and the sky that envelops this world we live in.. I look around and wonder if anyone really sees what's going on.. what is really going on around us.  The absolute depth and elegance of creation and the power of how strongly it testifies that there is something bigger.. Someone stronger.

And it ultimately frustrates me how 'ignorant' we are to this beauty.. this magnificence.  At times I feel as though I am the only one that cares, the only one that desires to feel connected to the Father through so many avenues that the idea of abusing something that he has created with his own two hands.. irks me.  And I know this can't be true, there are plenty of people that see God, but it truly pains me when I see how so much of this life is a joke to people.  When will they see?  When will their eyes be opened?  Will their eyes be opened?
