“What is this joy which we feel in order and design? Isn’t it the same kind of pleasure we experience in the rhythm (which is the predictability) of music, the pattern of an Oriental rug, the measured movements of a dance, the unimprovable form of any true work of art? Our joy is in the very discipline of the thing. The discipline doesn’t stifle it, gives power, it make beauty possible. Why shouldn’t it be so when we consider the glorious hierarchical order too? Each being plays its part in the music, in the pattern, in the dance and in playing it in accord with the Creator’s instructions finds its fullest joy”.
Elisabeth Elliot
Let Me Be A Woman
I LOVE that book. I've pretty much underlined the whole thing.
Gotcha, Dot 😉
