Bathing In Beauty

You know your wife is the most beautiful woman that ever lived, but you can't really explain it. You gasp and grasp for words when the mountains rise out of the plains before you and there's nothing to say but "wow." We just don't know exactly what to do with beauty and the way it makes us feel.

So, in keeping with the topic of "beauty" one more day (see HERE and THERE), I'm going to quote C.S. Lewis from The Weight of Glory again:

"We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words - to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it."

True enough. Beauty emanates from the Creator and He must be absolutely, utterly stunning in His radiance and magnificence AND in His subtlety and gentleness for these also are elements of beauty.

To cap this all off, here is a video from Need to Breathe called, appropriately enough, "Something Beautiful":
(MISCELLANY: The standing guitarist is using DADGAD tuning, I think; the box they're beating on is called a cajon; the breakdown that starts at 3:14 is awesome!)
