Unweaving the Rainbow

Posted in world view, worldview, tagged , , , , on January 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Created reality speaks and beckons a response of worship and adoration,
to the one who made all that is,
to the the one who inscribed beauty into the cosmos
Yet reductionistic scientism reduces the rainbow
to rays of light,
Beauty becoming the subjective response and not  contained within the thing itself
Thus the rainbow is unweaved,
and so is beauty.

Ok, I [...]

Jake Belder, via his blog, introduced me to the book ‘Who gets to narrate the world?’ by Robert E. Webber. My copy arrived today and I have ploughed through the first few chapters.  So far, so good.

To which thy light words bring no rest,
And [...]
