As Annie Dillard says,
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
I choose to spend mine lately seeking beauty, with the lens in the tangible world and in the in the middle of heart-filled encounters with friends in the more intangible world of sacred listening. And when I saw this little gem it resonated deeply.
Since delving deeply into photography I have discovered that beauty is so much more abundant than I ever realized. We are taught that beauty fits into a certain mold, reminded by advertisements, and our culture in subtle and overt ways that beauty is this rigid, definable thing… and yet, our souls know differently.
Seek beauty, let it become you.
Ah yes… Beauty is highly underrated, I think it’s becoming a negative thing these days. And yet, it’s so important that we surround ourselves in it.
It is so important Jeanette, you are so right… and the more I have been thinking about it, focusing on it and seeking it the more I realize it’s importance. If we see things as beautiful we are more inclined to love them, more inclined to protect them, and that goes for ourselves, for others and this one precious earth we inhabit.
Love it…. Again Erica. I have a postcard on my bedside table: “How will you give something beautiful to the world?” A little twist on this mornings thoughts…. ;-). Bless your day Erica. Tish
