Order and Inspiration

How could it be possible for me to ignore the possibility that Nature testifies of God when I find myself face to face with this incessant contemplation:

When I look above at the heavens, and look below into the Earth, I wonder: "If there is a right and a left, a forward and a backwards, and an up and a down, then why can't there be an "Above" and "Within" that orders and inspires all things?"

All nature observes a governing order, but where is this law written that all creation abides by? That there is order and law is irrefutable. That this order and law are not written or cataloged, but still observed, if even more evident. If this governing law is not cataloged within nature, then where is it and by what decree was it given?

And what life is there that does not articulate the very nature of life itself, the nature that inspires more life? Is not the fundamental nature of life to bless and increase those and that which is around. Is this not the definition of love and the antithesis of pride? That this breath, this passion, grows in glory and defines our every perception of beauty is evident. But that which is given life is not life itself but only a partaker. And if all Nature is filled with life, then where is the heart that breathed this breath of passion?

And once asked, how could my contemplation not draw me straight back to God.
