Beauty

18 July 2011

Remember, there is exquisite beauty in this world and life.
  Remember, also, that it differs from the misconstrued image
  painted by our society.

Beauty shines
  on the wings of a bee adorned with pollen,
  in the expectant eyes of a two-year-old,
  on the brow of an aged woman,
  in the sweat of a day's toil,
  on the simple product of inexpert handiwork,
  in the dreams that own your heart,
  on the wings of thought,
  in the courage to step forward into the life that lies before you,
  in the wisdom gained through years of trying, failing and learning,
  in the simple breath that enlivens each and every living being,
  in the hope for tomorrow,
  and the tears for yesterday.

Beauty - all round us - is us - is in our creation.
