Beauty all around us...

I walk the puppy most mornings. Morning outdoors is a beautiful time, and I am always reminded of this. It is a side benefit of the walk. But I do not incorporate it into my life, perhaps, as much as I could.

Then I see something like this:


Wow!

"The Buddha was once invited to give a talk to a crowd of people and so he stood before them, and held a flower up, and did not say a single word. Scholars call this “the Buddha’s flower sermon.” And it is said that only one person in the audience understood what he was trying to say. To be honest, I am not entirely sure that I know what he was trying to say. But there are times when I think I do. There are times when the words must stop so that our eyes can be open to the beauty all around us." Rev. Chris Buice

See the world. Try to do it every day. There is nothing between us and beauty but our minds, really. It is everywhere.
