Divine Beauty: The Invisible Embrace
Saved by Lael Johnson and
It reminds us that we are children of the eternal and that our time on earth is meant to be a pilgrimage of growth and creativity.
Some of our most wonderful memories are of beautiful places where we felt immediately at home. We feel most alive in the presence of the Beautiful for it meets the needs of our soul.
When we address difficulty in terms of the call to beauty, new invitations come alive.
In contrast to our frenetic, saturated lives, the earth offers a calming stillness. Movement and growth in nature takes its time. The patience of nature enjoys the ease of trust and hope.
WHILE WE CAN participate in beauty, we can never possess it.
WHEN WE AWAKEN TO THE CALL OF BEAUTY, WE BECOME AWARE of new ways of being in the world. We were created to be creators. At its deepest heart, creativity is meant to serve and evoke beauty.
The glimpse, the touch of beauty is enough to quicken our hearts with the longing for the divine.
Only if there is beauty in us can we recognize beauty elsewhere: beauty knows beauty.
The search for truth is allied with the visitation of beauty.
