There is an almost Eden-like quality to the nature scenes and the poetry in which they are expressed.<br /><br />The point of Eden was not keeping the law and understanding doctrine; in fact, the point of the law was to preserve Eden, and the point of doctrine is learning to love"<br /><br />The Song really exults the glory of the natural, the handiwork of God, and underlines that even in this broken world, we see beauty that should indeed make us delight in the pleasure of what He has given, and that we can use our gifts (i.e. poetry, songwriting, art) to express this.<br /><br />My thoughts, after reading your words, turned to both the birth and the last days of Jesus before Golgotha - how both were marked with gifts from nature... beauty amidst the poverty, truly a reflection of His own wondrous gift of Himself to us. This indeed is love.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707181627588121525noreply@blogger.com
