Reeses had these great commercials for Peanut Butter Cups where one guy would be walking around with a chocolate bar and another would be cruising around with an open jar of peanut butter, and thanks to some Keystone Cop's kind of moment, they would slam into each other. The random collision would produce a chocolate/peanut butter fusion that we would forever after know as the Peanut Butter Cup. Thus proving, that the bringing together of two great things can produce an even greater third.
The transcendence of The Discovery Channel's Planet Earth series has already been mentioned here at rednoW. Likewise, the beauty and wonder of Sigor Rus music as been put before us.
But what do you get when you bring these two things together?
4 minutes and 42 seconds of Holiness.
As Coldplay sings, "we live in a beautiful world..."
If you are stuck, as I often am, in the middle of a concrete jungle that feels far from anything beautiful, meaningful or transcendent, this short spot of Planet Earth may just be what you need to remember that there is More to this world than we often see. There are peaks and valleys, desserts and oceans, rainbows and rain clouds, cold and warmth that all define this place we live and the lives we lead.
While this spot will make you want to watch the series it promotes - I find myself much more drawn to know what The Creator of it all.
Turn the volume up and be amazed.
