I once was watching rain water on the side of a street cascade and flow into a drain and I thought of how peculiar and attractive water molecules react with each other and light. I've felt from then on that the evidence for some sort of collective being(god, sacred oneness, blah blah, etc.) was obvious in our ability to understand and marvel. I imagine a universe in which creation is not limited to the painting, but encompasses the brush, paint, canvas, and ultimately the audience that will appreciate it.
