The theme this week, "virtuosity," was inspired by two things. First, we ran away overnight to camp in the Catskills, and woke the next morning to a sunrise over the valley and hermit thrushes singing. We had to rush back to work, but we were fortunate to be so restored! The second was the following poetry from the Book of Job, which strikes me as a tribute to divine artistry:

4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
