Speaking with Joy

Episode Two: Creation and Chaos


Listen Later

Why do we look to nature for comfort and context in experiences of catastrophe? And is creation really comforting, or just another source of chaos? This week's episode asks just that question and looks to four pieces of art to see what they say. This week I talk about being a phd mole (and never seeing the light of day being burried, as I am, in libraries), about how Haydn captured the best of the enlightenment, how Sufjan Stevens embraces the dichotomy of nature's beauty and brokenness, how "The Tree of Life" awakens our wonder at existing, and how Gerard Manley Hopkins captures the hope of a creation longing for rebirth. Tune in, and for further resources and links, check out this link.
