Yesterday’s note was about looking up through the tall trees and seeing wonders in the night sky. What came to mind was the Lord’s speech to Job:
Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt?
And the more I think of it, it seems another wonder.
Years ago, I took an astronomy course at the university, and it opened up a part of the cosmos to me. Since then I’ve read books and scientific papers with interest.
But what came to mind when I looked up into a dark sky was a line of poetry learned at the knee of my Bible-quoting mother.
How does one account for that?
