Theft without Shame

I stole this quote from a blog I read.  (You should click through and look around.  Katie's photography will make you gasp.)  So hat tip to Katie. . . now get this:

"this world is beautiful, but badly broken.

st. paul said that it groans, but i love it even in it's groaning.

i love this round stage where we act out the tragedies and the comedies of history.

i love it with all of its villains and petty liars and self-righteous pompers.

i love the ants and the laughter of wide-eyed children encountering their first butterfly.

i love it as it is, because it's a story, and it isn't stuck in one place.

it is full of conflict and darkness like every good story.

and like every good story, there will be an ending.

i love the world as it is, because i love what it will be."
