Truth & Beauty

'Beauty is not in the face.

Beauty is a light in the heart.

~Kahlil Gibran~

Beauty that is true and everlasting

is not to be found in features nor facades.

It sprouts from somewhere deeper,

a pocket untouchable by time

and unfathomable in its depth.

It is uplifting and contagious…

it calls out to you across the room,

charging its way into your presence like a steam train.

Real beauty is not all about a porcelain complexion,

nor a 27 inch waist…

…features will fade and ripen with time,

leaving only truth,

the essence of character.

There is beauty in the lines upon your body,

they tell your story of a life loved and lived…

…and those grey hairs that start appearing,

one day, 

some day,

they are a totem of knowledge and of knowing,

only possible with the passing of years.

There is beauty in compassion

and laughter

and light…

There is beauty in imperfection,

and shadows,

and truth.

And there is beauty in you…

you may not see it in yourself,

but ask anyone who loves you,

anyone who believes in you…

you 

are 

beautiful...

The Pace of Nature

Adopt the pace of Nature

Her secret is patience

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

~*~

Mother Nature knows that good things take time.
Her every action is thoughtful
and productive…
a perfectly orchestrated symphony of creation.

She weaves every thread to a glorious whole
with a magic that is only possible
with time and temperance.

She works with Time's hand,
not against it,
at a pace that is patient and deliberate,
wasting not action nor moment.

Her masterpieces are crafted
with a tender hold,
coaxed piece by piece,
thread by thread,
moment by moment.

There is no urgency,
no limit on time.
Growth takes as long as it takes,
life cannot be rushed...

Slow down,
live,
breathe,
and entice life at a gentle pace,
with a peaceful soul
and a patient heart....
