uncovering beauty



I recently moved house, and in the depths of my old belongings I found this. It is a page of notes from an Arts conference I went to years ago. It was such a joy to re-read, and I leapt inside a little bit, when I read this sentence,

Sometimes its buried quite deep and hard to find, or even impossible to believe that it might be there at all. I love the fact that we have the opportunity to find and expose that beauty that belongs to God. That he put there for us to discover and marvel at with gratitude. That unobvious but no less beautiful or precious beauty. In fact that usually more exciting beauty...
