Seeing Pearls

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." It's easy to pass by the pearls in our path, mistaking them for stones impeding our way. I want to be aware of all the pearls placed in my day, seeing beyond the layer of grit to the beauty within. I'm convinced we share in part of God's nature when we create beauty and find pleasure in what might otherwise be mundane.

For the Love of Books

Part of my daily routine, and probably yours as well, is checking email. I subscribe to email updates from various blogs as well as from a couple of internet groups. Recently, in one of the daily digests, I saw a post about mysterious paper sculptures. I followed the link and was delighted to read about a series of paper sculptures that had been anonymously left in libraries. I would love to have been the person who stumbled across such a treasure, tucked away in a quiet spot. I invite you to take a look at these amazingly beautiful and intricate sculptures, obviously a labor of love from a dedicated bibliophile and artist. I'd like to think that even in this day of e-readers, there will always be a place for physical books. There's nothing quite like the adventure of stepping into a library to explore the riches available at no charge. I have spent many happy hours in libraries!
