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.
