As far as I can tell God is about making all things new, re-new—from what is to what its perfection is. Now I am sure eternity will usher in many things that are not “re-newed” but altogether brand new. I believe our mandate in the arts is the renewing part, but at times, He allows us a glimpse into eternity and we create something that rubs up against the brand new. This seems to be a process of aging eyes that can actually begin to see. What I see as beauty, the sincere paring away of all but the most essence of, I know I could not have seen 10 years ago. A great irony is that as my eyes become Spiritual enough to actually comprehend they are also becoming so old I struggle to actually see.
