The Details
I can’t help but wonder
at the beauty of this life
The complexity of design
and the care and love
drawn into every single cell
of every single being
And I try and find the
beauty in the ugly
The so-called undesirables
and the just-not-quite-rights
But there is something
majestic in just living,
breathing, laughing, loving
The smile on a face
The feeling of a wet raindrop
or the sound of resounding thunder
The heat from a flame
or a shiver down the spine
The beauty is in the details
The mysterious, miraculous,
impossibly designed
details of our lives
I wrote this in June, reflecting on my life in the previous 6 months. I haven’t shared any poetry in awhile here, and I’d really like to make this blog much more personal. I love writing about what I read, but this is my blog, my space in the world, so here it is. Hope you enjoy!
God’s plan for the world stands up, all his designs are made to last. - Psalm 33:11 (The Message)
Walk into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They don’t fuss with their appearance-but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. - Luke 12:27 (The Message)
