Beauty in nature is not essential.
It is grace supplemented by the Creator.
Are the intricate patterns
and complex functions
that we witness necessary?
Have you examined, close-up:
The design of a flower's inflorescence?
The veins in a dragonfly's wings?
The barbs and barbules in a bird's feathers?
The minuscule scales of a butterfly's wings?
Beauty in nature is not essential,
but I am grateful every time
I witness these gifts of creation.
