Surprised by Beauty


There is a definitive connection between natural beauty and the consideration of the divine.  Beauty is the white matter of the universe.  It is everywhere and needs no human assistance or involvement.  This is most evident when one considers all the beauty that exists that no human will ever see like wildflowers in remote places.  But this beauty abounds in our very world but goes un-noticed.  One of the greatest gifts you can accept is to be ever alive to seeing beauty, a sure way to renewing the ‘joy of your salvation.’  However, as I am trying to learn from C.S. Lewis, it is not the beauty, nor my recognizing it, it is the seemingly natural jump my spirit makes to The Conceiver/Creator and always asks my mind, “will you accept The Truth—by faith?”  There seems to be proof there but not in the way my mind has been developed to acknowledge or know truth.  It is a sense of transcendent Absolute Truth, that beauty sparks, kindles my spirit, fires my mind and the The Blaze occurs across my being illuminating my understanding that I AM is.
