The way I see it, the closer we get to nature/creation itself - the less our mere words are able to describe such beauty. I have spent many nights in the desert, gazing up at the infinite number of stars in the Milky Way, and I’m at a loss for words. Are we, as humans, incapable of forming spoken speech that can meet the level of nature itself? If we could describe its beauty entirely, would that dull it? Would the Milky Way glimmer as bright if we could fully articulate everything we saw in it? If we could translate onto paper the majesty of an early morning sunrise over the ocean - would it lose its magic? Maybe part of the true beauty lies in the fact that it is so fleeting and so limited to the time we can lay our senses on it.
