A Pause for Beauty:
An artist’s journal.
Tuned in to the idea of beauty
My father was very sure about certain matters pertaining to the universe. To him, all good things –- trout as well as eternal salvation –- come by grace and grace comes by art and art does not come easily.
- Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It
What beauty have you seen today? Have you watched the sunrise? Have you listened to good and beautiful music? Have you observed beautiful flowers? There are many places to find beauty -- in people, in nature, and in things. Wherever we are, we are able to perceive beauty if we are looking for it and are tuned in to the idea of beauty.
There is order, balance, harmony, and great beauty all around, but beauty is an inside job -- inner awareness leads to outer perception. Beauty is a living, vibrant force -- your passport to a more joyous life. You are an avenue, an instrument of beauty. Let the beauty of God and God's creation be expressed through you and in your life
