Can You See Beauty?

Tell me, can you see beauty? Can you let it renew your commitment to life, every day? I don't want to wait for death to be near to receive the beauty in my life. I want to be awed every day by the truth--pretty or painful--and let it open me to the beauty that surrounds me and draws me deeper and deeper into my own life. (Oriah, from The Invitation)

Hi, You had a lot of comments on your 13TT list, so I scrolled down. Today, I saw beauty in most everything I saw. So much so that I changed my direction I was driving just to watch the Sun rise. "Beauty I belive is a feeling of total content with ones self that they reach out to find it other places" My Quote, Helena

Nice quotation Sandy. I always think there is beauty in everything in life if we just take the time to look for it.
