The sun breaks through the morning mist, the air sparkles. The world awakens. We remember: the air is fine; the mist is fine; the earth is fine. They are each true to who they are.
The Beauty lies in our determination to preserve the treasure of Love;
The Beauty surrounds us as we hold each other, even when we watch our dreams crumble into ashes;
the Way has been lined with disappointment.
The Beauty hold us in strength and in love.
The Beauty picks up the pieces and finds new ways to fit them together until the jagged edges of an unfair reality reassemble whole and new.
The hoped-for story shattered, The Beauty rests in resilience.
The Beauty puts one foot in front of the other because although today is hard, tomorrow is unwritten.
The Beauty reaches for understanding when no sense is apparent.
The Beauty trusts that resolution is possible.
The Beauty smiles through shining tears.
The Beauty takes the pain and transforms it.
The Beauty beckons us to keep on walking even when the path is dark, rutted, thick with brambles.
The Beauty whispers in our ear, “this way, now, this way…”
The Beauty greets us when we wake in the morning.
The Beauty walks with us throughout the day, a hand on the shoulder, the small of the back, the sigh of exhaustion, the heavy heart.
And The Beauty lies down with us as we seek sleep, that little death, a moment’s oblivion.
The Beauty shines through The Darkness.
The Beauty brings us to the hope of peace.

In the Kabbalah,when we superimpose the Tree of Life on the human body, Tiporeth sits over the heart. Tiporeth can be translated as Beauty and/or Truth.
When we walk through life with our hearts leading the way we walk in Truth and Beauty.
May you walk your path in Beauty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sophia. This is so wonderful to read, especially having just woken up to. The Beauty is all around.
I am so glad that it speaks to you, walking in The Beauty.
DeleteSophia, this post is so timely for me, as I note the juxtaposition of pain and oh so much beauty. My challenge to accept and embrace both...I personally would prefer only beauty and of course growth but ... blessings to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, Gloria, we all prefer the beauty but being able to recognize it even through the pain, there's the challenge. Every now and then, perhaps a glimmer.....
