I love goldfish... There are many kinds- some plain, and some so lovely. And I always wonder, when I see the lovely ones- with flowing fins, like long hair and silky scarves- why did they get that way? What biological purpose is there for such show?
And I can ask the same question about butterflies, and flowers, and brightly colored birds... And in my heart I feel I know the answer- the Creator loves art...and me (and you). And a goldfish, a flower, a beautiful tree, or a bird and his song are gifts. Sometimes I forget to notice- and sometimes I forget to say thank you. Thank you Firebird- for provoking these thoughts in me tonight- I needed this :)

mayden--you are so right! And we are all God's art works, although we don't often think of ourselves that way..
Your comment is so inspiring, it makes me want to write a poem!
(Now if I wasn't so tired...!)
