Praise the beauty of life (Vol 1 No 3)

When we gaze at the wealth in the cosmos,

When we ponder both time and space,

Supernovas and *quasars*, the Big Bang!

We are humbled in our own birthplace.

Speculation;

Observation;

Fascination with the universe!

Wait in silence; stand with patience

As we greet infinity.

(A *quasar* is an enormously bright object at the edge of our universe which emits massive amounts of energy)

It would seem that our Earth is unrivalled -

Life is here but is not elsewhere;

Trees and birds, fish and beasts, bugs and insects

In the habitat that we all share.

Conservation?

Desecration?

Preservation is the call we hear.

Life so marv’lous yet mysterious - 

Value nature’s company!

God within, and between and beyond us

Brings a wonder and sanctity;

All that is and what was and what will be -

Is expression of God’s harmony.

Contemplation;

Invocation;

Meditation brings God’s mystery near.

Prize the joyous; pause in reverence;

Touched by God’s eternity
