Who do you suppose it was who first looked at the patterns in the ice at the edge of puddles in winter with appreciation? Who first participated in this evidence of beauty in the world…beauty we did not create and cannot take credit for, but which still inspires us with wonder and delight? When I see something like this, I can only respond with gratitude and realize myself as one with all those others, from the beginnings of the children of this Earth until this present moment and these particular eyes, who have loved the look of ice on puddles in winter and appreciated an artistry greater and more spontaneous than ourselves.
