beautiful beyond description

this is the turte pond, at the central park in new york

this is a really beautiful place. very serene, this pond is situated in the midst of a hurried city, almost on top of an almost incomprehensible subway system... who would expect to find something this tranquil a few blocks away from all the noise and blinding lights at the times square. was truly awesome being there and for several minutes, i could only sit there and be quiet. i don't know what i must have thought but i probably said "wow" to myself over and over like i often do when i get overwhelmed with beauty or majesty. looking at the pictures of the pond, i am now reminded of this song:

You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful for comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard

Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom
Who can fathom the depth of Your love
To a God whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of You

hmmm....actually, i did more than stand -- I jumped!

Haha!
