- BEAUTY ITSELF -

You are beauty itself.
Spend your days revealing that

beauty more fully in an infinitely

expanding number of ways.

There is nothing to fear.

For nothing can diminish the true
beauty at the heart of you.

How is it that you're able to recognize
beauty when you see It?

Because that beauty resonates

with the beauty that is you,

and you know it,

and you feel it.

Live from a perspective of beauty,
for it is your most authentic nature.

See each circumstance as an opportunity

 To express the unique beauty

that is your life.

What could possibly be more beautiful

than the ability to experience

and comprehend beauty?

That is who you are,

and that is what you do.

Live the miracle

that is the beauty

that is you.
Give your beauty to life,

and it all grows more beautiful.

~Ralph Marston~

 

Keep your faith 

in all beautiful things;
in the sun 

when it is hidden,
in the Spring 

when it is gone.

Roy R. Gilson 

For the human heart 

is the mirror
of the things that are 

near and far;
like the wave 

that reflects 

in its bosom
the flower 

and 

the distant star.

~ Alice Cary

"You cannot do 

a kindness too soon,
for you never know 

how soon
it will be too late." 

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

With a bit of effort, 

I can smile 

at someone today, 

even though 

I'm frowning inside.

Both will be 

better for it.

~ Unknown

Today stretches before you, 

an unknown quantity.
Concerns may crowd upon you, 

but guidance
regarding the best 

action to take 

is
always available 

to you.

~ Unknown

Let go of your thoughts about
what could be, 

or should be, 

or
even what might have been.
Be here now, 

fully and lovingly
taking in every minute of life.

Give your attention 

to the miracle of what is. 

See the great value and beauty

 that is right in front of you,
 here and now!

What you truly desire

 is not out there somewhere, 

and is not waiting for some day 

to appear to you.
 It is yours to manifest 

and
enjoy in this moment, 

in this hour
in this day ...

                    - SPIRITUAL ANTIDOTE -

 I may be facing situations 

with a limited view of  myself, 

i.e., 

as the sum total 

of the roles I play in life.

This causes insecurity.

The spiritual antidote 

is to develop the awareness 

of the eternal, 
invulnerable identity 

of the true self - 

the soul.

When I forget this, 

I invite sorrow 

into my life.
