Splendor

The beauty of earthly phenomena can be captured on film so well these days. Often I can search blogs and find a photo-jounrnalist capturing beauty in a thunderstorm or tornado or capturing the ferocity of tsunamis, hurricanes, or explosions. I call it beauty because the Phenomena Maker uses all phenomena for his ends. Yes, the recent earthquake caused at least 35,000 deaths. No, I don't have answers for catastrophes. But, it's still beautiful to see the ferocity, power, grandeur, splendor because it is above the attainment level for humans (super-natural). As John Keats wrote in the 18th century, "Truth is beauty and beauty truth--that is all/ you know on Earth and all you need to know."
