The Sublime

Every day a masterpiece. Every minute a masterpiece. As the sun sets Nature creates the masterpiece artists crave.

Humans move about the earth trying to make masterworks. Mostly thinking to rival the works of nature. Never is it possible. Better to think of our own individual majesty. Our singular ability to see, apprehend, produce, and call things good.

Rivalry, in general, cheapens the products of man. We fool ourselves that besting someone or something (nature, for instance) is the value in production. The mere fact that we produce and reflect is our glory.


The glory of the sunset recognized by the unique human. The production that expands our understanding and our ability to delight in each other and the world around us. That is the way we elevate ourselves up to the level of Nature.
