Truth - and in particular, spiritual Truth - is hidden in plain view.

Amen to that, Alamo-Girl!

I often have the acute sense that the signs of God are quite obvious -- in the sense of being "out there 'in plain view'." All you have to do is take a clear-eyed, good-faith look at the human and natural world all around you, and you will see His "signature" everywhere. Or so it seems to me.

Of course, if one is "determined" (i.e., self-determined) to be adverse to "looking" in principle, one won't see anything.

I guess that's the main problem for a whole lot of people these days.

Thank you for your reply!

So true. So true. Particular emphasis goes to your term "self-determined". I suspect it more often has to do with insecurity than arrogance that so many seem to struggle to look outside themselves.

And so we idolize the watch - instead of acknowledging and worshiping the creator of the hand that made it.
