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.

DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN

No one would argue that we are in a time of change. Most would also agree that this is a time of drastic, maybe even a time of accelerating change. Some would say "Yeah, but it is certainly not in the right direction." This group might call themselves realists; some might say pessimists.

While others, probably a minority, would say, "Hum, you know, it's always darkest before the dawn. But, the light is already starting to shine through in a place or two." This latter group, too, might call themselves realists; some might say optimists. Others might just call them dreamers, idealists or worse, just plain stupid.

The challenge on this blog is to watch for change that tracks the second premise. Given time, I feel certain that we will see a story unfold in the next decade that may be startling in its simplicity--even though the happenings of the times might look otherwise.

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of Light
within the Mind of God,
Let Light stream forth into the minds of men,
Let Light descend on earth.

From the Point of Love
within the Heart of God,
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men,
May Christ return to earth.

From the center where
the Will of God is known,
Let purpose guide the little wills of men,
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which
we call the race of men,
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out,
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light, Love and Power
restore the Plan on earth.

This prayer was given to us in 1945 as a promise that the Age of Peace is coming but the timing is up to Humanity. Millions say it daily. You can join this invocative appeal and, what's more, it's free. Check out http://www.lucistrust.org/ or www.thegreatinvocation.blogspot.com for more information.
