Beauty

I took the long way home tonight, a meandering walk around campus. It was an absolutely beautiful night, and I wanted to savour it - the UNB/STU campus is, at dusk on a clear summer day, one of the loveliest places I know. The sky is a deep, glowing blue, and the lights around campus really bring out the red brick of the buildings, and the green in the trees and grass. There's a subtle beauty in light and colour, the simple geometries of the architecture, and the more complex forms of growing things. Strolling in the warm air, a cool breeze blowing through my shirt sleeves, and the stars just beginning to come out above my head, it is easy to remember that Creator God is good.
