dead stuff and shadows

I just went running and it's interesting what you see and notice.

• a mutilated dead thing


• a strange piece of "house art" that looked like flowers


• hills


• a lot more people have dogs than you thought


• your shadow

I'm grateful to my son, Aiden, age 19 months, for helping me in this way. He particularly likes the dogs and would stop for a long time to stare at them and bark back if his dad didn't keep him moving.

I love this kind of thing and it reminds me of what God sees and how rich he is in experience. Every beautiful thing, everything that makes you go wow, he invented and constantly beholds. That's the kind of God I like.
