The finest art, poetry, music and literature in the world can at best, only be an inspiring reflection of the source of its inspiration! And yet, so often it is only the artist who is praised, honored and remembered. There is little mention or recall of what is was that raised him or her to rapturous expression.
We might look upon a painting of Yosemite Valley, the Alps or Huangshan in China and be deeply moved. But do we contemplate the forces and intelligence behind the creation of these natural wonders? As we gaze upon masterpieces lining museum walls, we would do well to also ponder the mystery and magnificence of Nature's artistry.
