Made (Jun. 9)

When you were a kid no doubt you made several interesting crafts that you then gave to your parents to hang on the refridgerator or some other place in the house. They were not great works of art and not necessarily anything to be proud of but as a kid they were sentimental to you and the fact that your parents seemed to like them so much put a smile on your face. But what was it about these particular items that were so important to you as a kid? The simple answer is that you made them. You took them to your parents and said, "Look what I did!" They were very simple project without much detail. Even the best artists in the work work hard to make something that they and others can appreciate. Some work in great detail and create pieces that look real while others work in the idea of being abstract. Even if you look at a photograph of a beautiful landscape there is still something missing because the detail with which one creates these pieces of art does not even begin to compare with the amazing reality of being physically at the sight of what the piece of art depicts. There is however a disconnect because the incredible detail is not something that is easy to say was made by someone. There is a disconnect because the artist it not someone you can run out and talk to. Perhaps this world of incredible beauty is all mere chance or perhaps we are simply waiting to meet the one who made it.
