I realize I haven't made any comments on my Blog for several days. I've been trying to understand what I want to post - - and could not come to any conclusions.

But today, I'm just recording what I see - and think about - - and hope and pray this is a good solution.

Today, as I was pushing the outside door to leave the building, I notice a small bug - - maybe 1/2 inch long. I looked at it - - it had transparent wings - - front legs covered with white fuzz - - long antenna from its head - - clean - no fuzz, I went outside and looked at it there - -It had an unusual color - - very interesting. I walked on the the Great Hall. Coming back, I again saw the bug. It had not moved. As I looked at it, I wondered if I could get a picture of it. So I went to my apartment, got my camera, and went back to that door. Yes, it was still there - - motionless. But it is on glass - the camera focusses on the sidewalk or grass. I took several pictures - - none were very good - - this is the best - but you cannot see the unusual markings I could see.

I wondered about life - - and all God had created - and about this bug. Was it 'good' for us - - or 'harmful' to us and what we plant? It's legs - front and back - were so interesting - - God was so amazing in the countless variety of his creation. I just give thanks for this small bug - - and all the thought, wonderment it has created within me.

music

Last night, 8/12/10 I went with a friend to a free (!) - open seating - - concert of the Cleveland Orchestra. It was a taping of a compete symphony of B ------ (I can't remember his name - - I had not heard his music before - - but I seemed to be the only one so ignorant!) being done for WVIZ.

The music was magnificent - - and of course the surroundings of that beautiful concert hall are breath-taking. As I sat there - - I gave thanks for such an offering of spectacular music and overwhelming beauty. How blessed we are at times like these.

I have no picture - - I cannot find my program - - perhaps I'll find it and add the picture later.
