Great thoughts, Tyler. Mindful awareness of the design I see everywhere brings me to a place of wonder and amazement. I noticed this late last fall, lying beneath a giant tree that had shed its leaves. I was awakened to the marked similarity of the bronchi and bronchioles of the human lungs... The tree producing the oxygen my lungs need, my lungs producing the CO2 the tree needs. The bigger picture I am made to fit into. The thread of a tapestry that reveals a bigger picture.

Dr. Paul Brand's writings are some of my favorites, bringing awareness of how each system of the human body reflects the bigger picture of God's design and plan. His chapters on blood and the immune system were eye opening for me.

Such a cool reflection, Kerin, lying under that tree. That’s really lovely. I’ve never thought of it quite like that. A moment of wonder to be sure.

Brand rocks.

Well thought out and written; I enjoyed it and it caused me to reflect on the wonder of it all. We oftentimes take the magic of our world for granted. What you’re saying and I agree, “Close your eyes for a moment, reflect on the magic of it all, then open ‘fresh eyes’ and see the world afresh. It is truly amazing!
