Beautiful Mess

Where do you see the beauty?

When I take a step back, this is what I see in the provocation: Gifts from nature, collected by a child.  Evidence of the approaching winter, with all its promises of light in the darkness, warmth in the cold.  Simplicity and fragility in the riches of the earth.  Loving hands preparing a hopeful invitation.  Hushed anticipation. 

Beauty.

The beauty is there in the exploration, too, but it's a beauty that looks different.  Here, I see collaboration.  Communication.  Experimentation.  I see joy.  Passion.  Pleasure.  Dance.  I see evidence of the spirit.  I see the inanimate made human, the temporal made infinite. 

I see all of this in what looks - at first glance - like a mess. 

Where is your beautiful mess?  What does it say to you?
