BEAUTY

'We were made for God's beauty, and all beauty is God's beauty. When we see or hear or taste or smell one of the reflections of God's beauty, we love it; and it creates wonder within us. Then we become junkies. A single rush of wonder is fantastic, but we quickly want more of it. We take pictures to possess the moment and share the wonder with friends. The sight of beauty makes us want to touch or taste. This is why children lick strange things and "Do Not Touch" signs clutter botanical gardens and museums.'
Steve DeWitt, Eyes Wide Open, p.78.
