Thank you, that was gorgeous. (I really liked the zebra-striped octopus-like fish thingy!)
ReplyDeleteGod created all the beauty. We brought all the ugliness through our sin.
Nice video - but I'll stick with Stephen Hawking (and the monkeys)!
ReplyDeleteOh, you mean the great scientist Stephen Hawking who believes that the universe created itself out of gravity? The gravity that existed without mass? That scientist? He's got a lot of faith, I'll give you that.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful video and music. Balm for my soul. Thank you, RWP.
