Desert Solitaire
October 19, 2016
And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:12
Desert Solitaire is Edward Abbeys personal history of his summers as a park ranger in what is now called Arches National Park in Utah. The book is worth reading if only for Abbeys bright language and vivid descriptions of the US Southwest.
But Abbey, for all his artistry, was an atheist who could see nothing beyond the surface of the beauty he enjoyed. How sad! He lived his entire life in praise of beauty and missed the point of it all.
Most ancient peoples had theories of origins enshrouded in legend, myth, and song. But Israels story of creation was unique: It told of a God who created beauty for our enjoyment and childlike delight. God thought up the cosmos, spoke it into being and pronounced it beautiful. (The Hebrew word for good also signifies beauty.) Then, having created a paradise, God in love spoke us into being, placed us in Eden, and told us, Enjoy!
Some see and enjoy the beauty of the Creators good gifts all around them, but dont worship him as God or even give him thanks. They think up foolish ideas of what God [is] like. As a result, their minds become dark and confused (Rom. 1:21 nlt).
Others see beauty, say Thank You, God, and step into His light.
Loving Father, we praise You because You are good. Thank You for infusing Your creation with beauty and purpose and for placing us here to enjoy it as we discover You. Your love endures forever!
All of creation reflects the beauty of God.
This psalm of worship praises the wonders of Gods creation and Gods providential intervention for His people. The repeating refrain is, His love endures forever. Key concepts in this psalm are Gods creation (see Isa. 40), the love of God (see Pss. 57), and the miracles of God (see Ex. 67). The list of items for which to thank God, our Creator, are vast and extensive: God is good (v. 1); He is over all other gods (v. 2); God is the Lord of lords (v. 3); He alone does great wonders (v. 4); God by His understanding made the heavens (v. 5); He placed the earth on the waters (v. 6); God made the great lights (v. 7); He made the sun to govern the day (v. 8); and God made the moon and stars to govern the night (v. 9).

A Tender Moment At The Supermarket
Sitting there watching them
they had no idea
they were such an inspiration
so comfortable with each other.
He, at least 85
she, about the same.
From my car I could see
the way he worried about her
as he pulled his car up to the door
so she wouldn't get wet.
He tenderly watched
while she tucked her hair
under her clear rain bonnet.
The rain was barely a trickle
but it was a cold rain
and he wouldn't have her
catching a chill.
She waited
just inside the door
while he parked the car
a sky blue 1976 Bonneville.
They probably bought it
brand new.
His steps were slow
and purposeful.
I could tell he hurt
but was trying to still
be the ''protector''
of his beautiful bride.
They walked into the store
arm in arm
while I sat for a few more minutes
alone in my car
listening to the whish-whish
of my wipers.
