'In the presence of the beautiful we intuitively respond in delight, wanting to be involved, getting near, entering in - tapping our feet, humming along, touching, kissing, meditating, contemplating, imitating, believing, praying. It's the very nature of our five senses to pull us into whatever is there - scent, rhythm, texture, vision.'
Eugene H Peterson in Steve DeWitt, Eyes Wide Open, p.90.
