Breathe in the Beauty
“We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.” ~Kahlil Gibran
When beauty spreads itself before you, pause and breathe it in. Pause, setting aside your thoughts and your doings, and let it shower you with its radiant and animating light. Let it sing to you its song of exaltation. Let it flow molten into the depths of you, quickening your soul with its sparks of wonder, its flame of truth.
This is a mystical training. For beauty’s purpose is to reflect to you the essence of the light within your own heart. It is life, dancing naked before you, taking the form of a bird, a face, a leaf, a river, a sky. And the more deeply you see it, the more you come to understand that you, too, are its child and its expression.
Immerse yourself in it. Ride its tender waves to the edges of the cosmos, to the pure, still point within. Let it guide and teach you. “When you reach the heart of life,” the poet Gibran declared, “you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.” This is its ultimate lesson. May it be your destiny and goal.

live .love ;laugh talk about a short story …lol
You know Susan, just about everyone I’m reading these days sums up their work pretty much the same way… after I’ve read all their other stuff, of course. LOL In fact, two of my favorite reads – Abraham and Dr. Robert Anthony – need only two to three words
BE HAPPY! The third word is often important to throw in because we’re so programmed for delayed gratification. What is that third word?
NOW!
So putting it all together, the entire purpose of life is to BE HAPPY NOW! And when you get that part right, the Universe will reward you by sending you MORE stuff about which to BE HAPPY NOW!
The bottom line reason why anyone does anything is so that they can BE HAPPY NOW. So just cut to the chase – actually stop chasing all the other people, places and things you think will bring you happiness – and just BE HAPPY NOW. Then all those people, places and things will start chasing YOU!
BE HAPPY NOW!
All the best from Toronto,
