God’s handwriting

[Gabrielle Dean]

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting ~ a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.” 

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson 

God the Artist 

 You take the pen 

 and the lines dance. 

 You take the flute 

 and the notes shimmer. 

 You take the brush 

 and the colours sing. 

 So all things have meaning and beauty 

 in that space beyond time 

 where you are. 

 How then can I hold anything back from you? 

 Dag Hammarskjöld 

I can just see Dag Hammarskjöld’s God making the lines dance in these tiny orchids, right down to the tiny hairs on the ends of the petals and dabbing those little dots on the lips… A joyous God playing perhaps with Wisdom before the world all things have meaning and beauty in that "space beyond time" where God is.
