One of the 16 questions in my daily spiritual experience scale is: ‘Recently, have you been spiritually touched by the beauty of creation?’ ‘When does it happen for you?’ It can reflect our feelings of awe when in the natural world – when we encounter animals and mountains, trees and flowers and how we respond to these. But it also can happen when we encounter the artistic creations of others. These beautiful creations of musicians, visual artists and poetic words. The book on the set of questions has examples of how different people have responded to this question that might provoke an awareness of this in your life.
I love drawing animals and flowers. I never tire of the feelings of connection to the wider world and the transcendent that I have when drawing or painting these.
Are you ever spiritually touched by the beauty of creation? Are there ways to find circumstances that stir that in you today? The natural world, music, visual art? It can be so uplifting in the midst of other life circumstances that pull us down.
