Beauty
Beauty
"Seeing beauty is about broadening our ability to recognize the interconnectedness of all manifestations of life and delighting in how the smells and sounds and tastes and sights that surround us conspire to draw us toward living fully."

Today's Affirmation
I see beauty all around me.
Today's Meditation
Dear God,
I behold the evidence of Your handiwork all around me.
All of my senses tingle and sizzle with life when I take the time to notice.
Every day contains hundreds of incredible moments, and each one reveals the interrelatedness of life.
The smell of fresh coffee, the smile of the clerk at the grocery store, the notes to my favorite song playing on the radio, the warm embrace of an longtime friend, the way warm water in the shower flows down my back, the warm feeling of my bed at the end of a long day, sleeping in for an extra half hour, the softness and vibrant color of roses in a vase, watching children jostle out of the school bus door, the crisp November air and the brilliant red leaves on a maple tree.
Each element of life is connected in the most amazing ways.
For all of these things, and the many others that surround me, I give You my thanks.
May all the Earth celebrate the life we share.
Amen
