"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

I recently saw soul-nurturing beauty at Atlanta's Botanical Garden. And I did feel a sense of homecoming. 

I think it happens when the beauty outside us and the beauty inside us recognize each other. It's like friends who find each other after searching in a crowd. There's relief, gratitude, joyful embracing, and a sense of homecoming.

About this hunger. Besides beauty, souls hunger for peace. Hearts hunger for hope. Many among us hunger for food too.  

We can help nourish souls and encourage each other. We can help feed hungry bellies too Let's do what we can for one another.

With love and beauty,

THE SECOND GIFT IS BEAUTY. 
May your deeds reflect its depth.
