Beauty All the Days of Our Lives

IF WE IGNORE BEAUTY,
WE WILL SOON FIND
OURSELVES WITHOUT IT.

BUT IF WE INVEST IN BEAUTY,
IT WILL REMAIN WITH US
ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES.

~Frank Lloyd Wright

Of Note: Someday we will see beauty in each person we meet. Our eyes will open to the inherent beauty in each of us when we recognize the soul residing in the heart. Ageless wisdom explains that this beauty is Real and not merely symbolic. Radiant light of multi-hued, scintillating color will be seen pouring forth. Our natural reaction will be joy coupled with a deep sense of responsibility and desire to do whatever it takes to bring everyone else to this level without proselytizing. Even if we cannot imagine beauty of this magnitude, we can begin today by acting AS IF we do. Little by little the world around us will begin to respond to these "make believe" thoughts of beauty. If everyone joined in, the world would never be the same. Then "someday" will become "today" ahead of schedule.

Today's Weather Report: Wow, rain, rain and more rain. The forecast was a 100% chance of rain, really. This morning it only drizzled, but this afternoon we got the full kahuna. A friend and I happened to be in town taking care of errands and got soaked. My raincoat was wet through and through. The dogs were not impressed with the precipitation and hunkered down for the day. Bet the lake responds to this latest addition. One of these days I will announce it is actually full again. Never thought I'd see the day the lake was back up to the original shoreline.
