Creativity connects us with creation.
I have just started my online morning by watching a video of
a rescued bull elephant standing knee-deep in a riverside lagoon. Standing,
mostly absolutely still, next to a man playing Schumann on the piano. I see
down the side of the clip that this beautiful elephant enjoys Beethoven and
Mozart, too.
What a wonderful image, of creatures being kind to other
creatures. Of elephants enjoying the output of musically-gifted geniuses, of
the camaraderie and fellowship connecting the pianist with the elephant. Both
appreciating gifts of God.
I was aware, during the video, of the pleasant rippling and
delightful bubbling of the river running by. I could hear the irregular
percussion of a variety of birds raising their voices, too.
All creation praises the Lord. How good it is when we are in
harmony with that which God has given us.
