Reality

There seems to be more and more ways that the world wants us to view reality. We look at it from our own view or perspective.
I watched the Movie, Girl with the Pearl Earring. About the creation of the painting by that name. Vermeer was truly a painter of light. It is not an action picture but there is movement and the images are lush and beautiful. The story comes together so beautifully. After I saw the movie I looked on the Internet to see some more of the pictures he had done. The detail of so many of his paintings are so full and beautiful. It was interesting.

These pictures give a view of what reality was about in the 16th C for some people. Snapshots of the world that was present then.

Pictures of realities of our present day are not ones that we want to linger and look at when these images are one that bring not joy but shame. Deep Breath.

What images will we hold of our world? A beautiful sunrise or sunset? A child newly born just peeping out at the world? An older person waiting to hear about a medical test in that limbo of wanting to know?

Whatever they are these are reality as well.

Let us live our lives to bring the best beauty we can...by being people who bring justice, voice to the voiceless, food to the hungry, and hope to those in despair.

May your day bring beauty to the world in word or action toward someone in need.

God abide
