Varekai - "Wherever"

On Saturday night I witnessed my first Cirque du Soleil show, called Varekai.

WOW!

If you ever need to be reminded that God created the human race to be fantastic creatures, who can accomplish so much if they try, all you need to do is go see one of those shows. And it's not just the performers. The make-up, costumes, sets, lighting and of course the music, are astounding, and all conceived and created by people. People who you might pass in the streets without a second thought. Human beings are incredible. And so, if we, the shallow reflections, the small likeness', are so awe-inspiring in our creativity and abilities, how much more so is God?


This was probably my favourite act... not that you can really have a true favourite, as they are all different and all so incredible... but they flew through the air so amazingly. They're brothers, and you can tell... the trust they must have, and the connection, to do what they do. Yikers. They have a cord that they hold on to, and it goes up and down, and they spin, and fly all over the stage. Sometimes only one would hold the cord, and the other would be held up only by the grip on one arm. It was beautiful. And it had the best song to it.

It was like standing in the shadows of the Rockies, or staring out at the rolling breakers and the expance of open sea. I was blown away by another example of God's glory and genius.


Then the next day we walked to the Waterfront and saw 3 large Cruise Ships, and I marvelled at what we could build. Then Ryan took me to my first 3D Imax. We went and saw Deep Sea 3D.
And once again I was floored by God's creative genius... and mankinds disrespect for it. It was a wonderful show. Ryan even said it was the best 3D show he's seen. Interesting facts and information about the lives of underwater creatures, and beautiful shots. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet did a good job narrarating the whole thing.

Really, this world, and every single thing it is INCREDIBLE!!
You're incredible.
I'm incredible.
Everything, everywhere, is incredible.
At the moment, I love and appreciate the human race, though I'm saddened by it's destructive nature, and I LOVE the world and all it's diversity.

In time this will pass, and things will once again become mundane, and I'll miss alot of the incredible-ness in things, until something comes along to open my eyes again, but for now I'm just basking in the awe. ;)
