“Through our science we have created magnificent spacecrafts and telescopes to explore the night and the light and the half light. We have made visible things that are invisible to the unaided eye. We have brought the dreamy heavens down to Earth, held them in the mind's eye. Our explorations have produced a vast archive of remarkable astronomical images... The riches are too many for choices, the revelations beautiful and dreadful. Who can look at these images and not be transformed? The heavens declare God's glory.” MindLooksMadeLightEyeEarthBeautifulNightChoicesHeavenHalfGloryRichesInvisibleVisibleRevelationsRemarkableExplorationTransformedMagnificentTelescopesDown To EarthDreamyArchivesSpacecraft Author:Chet Raymo

“There is no figure more common in scripture, and none more beautiful, than that by which Christ is likened unto light. Incomprehensible in its nature, itself the first visible, and that by which all things are seen, light represents to us Christ. Whose generation none can declare, but Who must shine upon us ere we can know aught aright, whether of things Divine or human.” KnowsFirstsHumansLightBeautifulChristCommonGenerationsFiguresDivineAll ThingsShiningScriptureVisibleEpiphany Author:Herman Melville

“This is a strange book: visionary and dark. It stutters out a kind of music: repeated phrases which accumulate errors and mutate as they go like chromosomes or, as Woodward puts it better, 'visible fissile ribbons.' It's as if we were present for the moments of creation and extinction. Uncanny Valley is ominous and beautiful.” IfsKindBookMomentsBeautifulDarkCreationStrangeErrorsPhrasesVisibleValleysExtinctionVisionariesRibbonsUncannyOminousChromosomes Author:Rae Armantrout
“Life is the blossoming of flowers in the spring, the ripening of fruit in the fall, the rhythm of the earth and of nature. Life is the cry of cicadas signalling the end of summer, migratory birds winging south in a transparent autumn sky, fish frolicking in a stream. Life is the joy beautiful music installs in us, the thrilling sight of a mountain peak reddened by the rising sun, the myriad combinations and permutations of visible and invisible phenomena. Life is all things.” EndsEarthBeautifulLife IsJoyFallSunSkyCryFlowerMountainSummerSpringBirdAll ThingsSightSouthFruitFishesInvisibleRhythmCombinationStreamsRisingVisibleAutumnThrillingTransparentBlossomingEnd Of SummerRipeningBeautiful MusicNature LifeMountain PeaksCicadasMigratory Birds Author:Daisaku Ikeda
