I think that too, Z, but don't you also believe that in a very real sense ALL works of Art are an attempt to REFLECT or RECREATE a small piece of God's handiwork?
Some of us –– mostly the creative-artistic-poetic types –– like to try to claim bits of Creation that appeal to us as our very own. Where we run into BIG trouble is when we allow ourselves to imagine that OUR work could possibly exceed HIS.
A stellar debris cloud indeed. Makes you wonder where the vacuum of space is when you need it. When the lint ball gets this many light years across, its time to vacuum.
Ed, It does kinda look like our kitchen ceiling back around 1959 when Mom pulled the top off of the pressure cooker full of spaghetti before the pressure was released..
Back when knowledge of space was slim and there was no light pollution so that people with decent eyesight could easily see the Milky Way, the sky was a Big part of their life and wonderment.
so beautiful....we couldn't come up with something like that in artwork if we tried!
ReplyDeleteI agree Z

Okay! Okay! I see the spaghetti all right, I even see the sauce, but what the hell good is spaghetti if there aren't any meatballs next to it, eh?
ReplyDeleteFT, The meatballs are still in Washington DC
DeleteTrue enough, Kid, but like Archie Bunker I prefer to think of THEM as meatHEADS! };^)>
DeleteFT, and O'Conner was the ultimate meathead..

ReplyDeleteDeBlade, Just a tiny lint ball in the overall scheme of things.

DeleteI hope you glued it all in place, then sprayed it with at least three coats of lacquer, to help preserve it, Kid.
DeleteIt's the only to do with these spontaneous Work of Art, right? };^)>
FT, I wasn't old enough to vote on such matters at the time.

ReplyDeleteO Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? ...
