We are:

Quick to judge, when beauty is deeper than skin

Quick to overlook and over complicate the definition of true beauty

The beauty that runs from the heart with its truth and wisdom flowing through one’s blood

Beauty is as simple as laughter

a kind smile 🙂

gracious spirit; actions of a hug

a cooked meal with free ears to listen

or just a helping hand

That’s beauty

Beauty is:

the expression of Joy, similar to discovering the unconditional love of Jesus or the universe

a non-judgmental, limitless, open minded and evolving heart

I’m grateful to be shown, true love

Beauty is in nature:

vibrant green grass

rainbow flowers

purple carrots

yellow squash

black grapes

and red apples

Beauty is in season and out, powerful and wonderful even when it brings calamity

Summer brings joy

Fall a crisp seasoned air

Winter brutal and cold yet purifies the earth with snow

Spring full of rain and wonders of what it is to come

Beauty tells us promises are abound to the rich and poor, educated and not

we share this journey

Beauty is in this journey

 

I was just baptized, and in this act, I was baptized with a recovering alcoholic with 12 years sober and he was making a declaration to his community, himself and God, proof of God’s beauty, proof of the promise, and justification for beauty.
