paradox

“The world is neither so full of evil that we cant enjoy it nor so full of goodness that we can abandon ourselves to it. When we see something beautiful there is always the qualifying thought that it has been tarnished. When we see something ugly, there is always the qualifying thought that there is something of the Creator hidden there.”
-Steve Turner

...so much truth in the raw simplicity of this statement...maybe the tarnishing is both the fallen world and the cracked, tainted lenses through which we view it...we can neither recognize beauty nor escape evil.
