Allow beauty to be present

Breathe into the day. It holds the promise of infinite possibility. The day and all of the Universe roll in ecstasy at our feet but for want of noticing and allowing.

Allow beauty to be present. For in being present to beauty we notice the small things that nourish.

The earth beneath our feet. Holding us.

The breeze upon our cheek. Cooling. Calming.

The taste of water.

Birdsong.

Life.

For one brief moment be still. Put away the need for haste. For striving. For changing the world.

Drink in beauty. Have it saturate the corners of your being. Every cell. Deep into the marrow of your bones.

And when you cannot stand it anymore..the overwhelm of beauty.. give it away with a smile to all the world.
