"At the magic touch of the beautiful, the secret chords of our being are awakened. We vibrate and thrill in response to its call." ~ Kakuzo Okakura, from The Book of Tea
Does this quote ring true for you? Recall a time when you thrilled in response to "the beautiful." Can you remember any specific details about the feelings you had?
Let's have a fresh experience of this.
Look for beauty today. It might be in nature, through music, in prayer, or with a child or animal you love. Feel how your inner beauty responds. Experience the chords in you vibrating in resonance with outer beauty.
Let's look for ways to bring our inner beauty into the world too.
For example, notice what happens between you and another person when you have a warm, friendly, kind, and genuinely caring exchange.
Sometimes inner vibrations of beauty cause what we call "goose bumps" or "God bumps." Sometimes we cry. We may feel unable to speak. We may feel a heavenly nearness.
May beauty lead us to deeper love and widened joy.
With hope and peace,
Charlene
