And I like your third piece of advice: "Take the time to waste time in the presence of beauty." I need to do more of that, guilt free. Thanks for the reminder.

In a flash of understanding I realized God made the cacophony of colour coupled with our ability to see it, simply to bring us pleasure. Why would he make creation so extravagantly appealing, if he was simply a utilitarian God? He must enjoy the beauty, which means we can too, since we're made in his image. <br /><br />Guilty pleasure? Not at all.
