This past week we did not go to any new museums or anything, but we did go to the Ashmolean again. At first I was not excited about it because I felt like I had seen all there was to see. Once I got there, however, I turned on my ipod and began to listen to some relaly mellow music. I must admit, I did not have the best attitude when I first got there because I was tired and had a lot of homework to do. As I started to look around the Ashmolean again, the beauty struck me again as if I was seeing it for the first. THis time, there were new pieces that caught my attention that I had glanced over previous weeks. There was one with the Shephards sitting on a hill looking at JErusalem. I hit me that this was something they had waited to see their entire lives, and all the could do was sit and stare.
This week I have seen beauty in so many things. I have learned that architecture is something that truely catches my eye as a breathtaking art. The detail on the abbies we have visited is phenominal. When I see this man-made art, i can not help but notice the creator of art. His pieces of art are the artist. We are his artwork and he gets to chanel his art through us. Perhaps this is what it means when scripture says we have the "mind of Christ." We get to see things how he sees them and then we create art from His inspiration.
