"God is in the
details." Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
In the subtle lines that flow,
ascending
through the reflections
of dark and light,
day and night.
Beauty and glory
revealed
to my eyes
every morning
and evening.
Sometimes we forget to look at the deals of beauty in
everyday life. At the buildings, we enter or live in. Watch the clouds moving
across the blue sky and forming shapes, which intrigue our minds. Look closely
at the ants crawling across our driveways or sidewalks, as they hunt food or
return to their homes.
Look at the detail of everyday items. Look closely and you
will see the divine beauty reflecting back. There is beauty and perfection in
the details that we sometimes miss because we are looking at the entire item
and not focusing on the subtle elements that make up the objects we are using
in our daily existence.
We live in a world containing both natural and human created
beauty. Sometimes we look at a skyscraper and do not see the subtle line incorporated
by the architect. Instead of looking at the details, we look at the dirty
windows and the litter on the sidewalk around it. We need to look at the beauty
and if we cannot see the beauty then perhaps we need to clean up the litter so
we can see the beauty of details.
