December 23rd

I think one of the most beautiful things about reality is how it never does a half job. Every little blade of grass, to every insect, and from the forces of gravity on planets and the fusion that fuels our sun, to the forces exerted by the motes of dust landing on the ground to thunder across the Earth, it's all perfectly consistent.

God is a painter who puts just as much passion, detail, love, work and attention into the beauty of a single snowflake of nitrogen on Pluto that no eye will ever see, as He puts into grand mountains that humans paint art of for millennia, climb frequently, and build cities around.

Anyways...

I dunno about in context with the story, but by itself, at least, I've always thought this music goes incredibly well with this picture; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TuMsn270O4
