Inspiration

It hit me just today how absolutely incredible humanity's built-in-capacity for the immaterial is. Grace, love, ect can't be quantified or measured. And what about the need for purpose? Where is that in our nicely diagramed graphs and numbers? Perhaps that's why it has distressed philosophers for ages. We can't control what we can't touch taste see, hear or smell. And yet some have built greatness on this mere "inspiration."

I swear that's how the Taj Mahall was made. Did you know that a king made it in memory of his deceased wife? And later his own grave was built into it. He probably never guessed it would one day be one of the eight wonders of the world and thousands of people would travel to see the monument he made to their love.

Whenever I get too skeptical I try remember that. The human spirit is indeed capable of Sidney's "mimesis" and the subsequent reflection of grace.
