“The human soul is hungry for beauty. We seek it everywhere...When we experience the Beautiful, there is a sense of homecoming." - John O'Donohue
What is this sense of homecoming? I think it happens when the beauty outside us and the beauty inside us recognize each other and brighten with delight. It's like friends who find each other after searching in a crowd. There's relief, gratitude, joyful embracing, and a sense of homecoming.
I hope someday soon we will be better at seeing beauty in others, in ourselves, and everywhere.
About this hunger. Besides beauty, hearts hunger for hope. Souls hunger for respect, for peace and a promising future.
Many among us hunger for food now too.
Let's find ways to encourage and help one another, however we can. There is a great deal of beauty that.
May we all be nourished with all that we need.
And with the fullness of life's gifts
