Beauty
"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting - a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beauty is everywhere, all around an in each one of us. Yet where do we put our attention? On what we have decided is "wrong?" On what we think needs to be "fixed?" There is beauty in these things, too - if we would only look for it. There is a lesson, a gift, a treasure to be found in every situation and circumstance. We can acknowledge it or turn away from it - but it is there nonetheless.

-Lissa Coffey

Spirit Dancer · 11-18-2010, 10:58 AM

Nature has given to each conscious being every
power she possesses, and one of these abilities
is this: just as Nature converts and alters every
obstacle and opposition, and fits them into their
predestined place, making them a part of herself,
so too the rational person is able to finesse every
obstacle into an opportunity, and to use it for
whatever purpose it may suit.

Marcus Aurelius

Spirit Dancer · 11-18-2010, 10:58 AM

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark;
the real tragedy is when adults are afraid of the light.
