Picture the Divine

Today I was checking out what’s fast becoming one of my favorite sites. I stumbled on it in a Time magazine article, where they interviewed some smart people about the future, technology and religion. The photo site Flickr.com . On it’s home page they had a sentence that gives a link to everyone’s photo that has been tagged as divine. Couldn’t pass it up. So as I do my Alice in Wonderland routine and follow the rabbit down the [w]hole it struck me (now why don't y'all correct me on stuff like that?), all of the pictures that people considered to represent the divine. It was very interesting to say the least.

What some people saw as divine were pictures of Sunlit beaches, astonishing views, pregnant bellies, arched cathedrals, flowers, to cleavage. From football stadiums, Brides in full garb, to Better Middler, to food, and to all sorts of body parts.

It just made me think, what evokes the divine in us? What draws us closer to the presence of the divine; what image, what thought, what experience? And it’s just funny to me that what is divine to some is repulsive and represent the exact opposite to others.

I think my point is…
that since [if] God is the creator, then the presence of the divine can be revealed in all things. [?]

Can you see it?
