Silohuette

Art is God's silohuette.

Artists are constantly seeking after a way of expressing something just out of our reach. Paintings, sculptures, songs and stories are show glimpses of what we know is there, but just can't nail down. Art can express hope or hatred, faith or doubt. Art revisits the same themes century after century.

What are is trying to do is understand the transcendant.

I occassionally will hear a song that is prophetic, or see a relationship in a movie that expresses a love more profound than many of us experience in our own life. Sometimes I will hear Christians say "Is that about God?"

This shouldn't suprise us. Our art shows our longing for the transcendant. Christians believe that God is the truly transcendant. Art can be a beautiful silohuettes, hinting at the shape of our God.
