Hello Dear One,
I’ve been basking in beauty. Not just the “take-my-breath-away” beauty of a sunset, a lovely vista or someone’s bright smile.
I’m basking in the simple beauty woven through ordinary moments, like washing the dishes or preparing a meal. Or appreciating the beauty in taking a walk with my husband, not needing to talk about anything.
I’m drawn in by the beauty that rubs my edges and softens me to new insights or perspectives. I’m even seeing the beauty in my stubbornness and the way my feelings get hurt.
This past week I’ve been touched by the raw beauty under the skin of a tender heartbreak, and the beauty of a stranger’s simple kindness. I’ve felt the gentle beauty in an unexpected tear and a compassionate touch.
I’m sitting with the beauty of a birth and the beauty of a death. This Mystery of Life. Beauty.
I’ve always enjoyed this Rumi quote, “Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
But today I’m flipping that around … Let what I do become the beauty I love.
Hmmmm, I’m curious to see where this is going to take me.
With love,
Sharon |
