The recent article describing Steve Jobs passing noted that in his final few minutes on his death-bed, after looking at his family members, he looked off into the distance and said, “Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow”. What a wonderful affirmation of life beyond the veil. While many will say his remark was the result of low oxygen concentration, or a reflex, or anything else less than the positive possibility that he had a view of the afterlife and was overwhelmed by the beauty. If anyone could appreciate beauty it would be Steve Jobs whose whole life had been dedicated to bringing beauty into the otherwise boring frontier of technology.
For the most part we live on the surface of a very complex life and sometimes miss the depth of it. Every generation produces a few souls who are able to see God in the fullness of His creation. Yes, they may be flawed in many other aspects of life but still they excel in seeing beyond the veil. Let us ask God for the gift to see and appreciate His beauty and describe it to the world.
