Beauty is A Long Event
“The world is made up of events, not things. Even the things that are most ‘thing-like’ are nothing more than long events.”
— Carlo Rovelli

A man whispered, “Creator speak to me” and a meadowlark sang. But, the man did not hear.
So the man yelled, “Universe, speak to me” and the thunder rolled across the sky. But, the man did not listen.
The man looked around and said, “let me see you.” And a star shined brightly. But the man did not see.
And, the man shouted, “show me a miracle.” And, a life was born. But, the man did not notice.
So, the man cried out in despair,
“Touch me, and let me know you are here.” Whereupon, the Great Mystery touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.
Don’t miss out on a blessing because it isn’t packaged the way you expect.

“Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.”
