Nature can be one of God's greatest gifts of inspiration to man. Men would gaze upon the enormous trees of Lebanon and find great inspiration for construction of monuments and buildings that would achieve equal height and status. Or poets, whose introverted minds would ponder the beauty of wild gardens, endlessly rapt, would therefore produce some of the most profound pieces of literature people try to emulate today. And the musicians; how many men would see some trinket of beauty in that expansive treasure chest we call nature and produce some melody and song worthy of angels ears? So, in Hastings, England- I came across this gorgeous tree, tangled at the roots with a vine who slowly tried to suck out its nutrients- and I thought to myself, what men have you inspired? Perhaps my mind will gravitate towards that memory of this tree, and produce something worthy of its inspiration; or, perhaps not. The point is, if its a beautiful day, and you feel like being inspired, using whatever medium you are best in, go out and spend a little time with nature.
Wow, this is great. I love the photo and very much so like what you had to say based off of it.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely has thoroughly inspired me, great stuff.
