"Beauty is not caused. It is."  

                                                         ~ Emily Dickinson  

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what Emily Dickinson meant by this. What does this quote suggest to you?

While I believe that Beauty Is, just as Love Is, I also believe that when we access beauty, act with it, bring it forward, and recognize beauty in hidden places, there are causal effects.

Enough philosophizing.
Back to poetry.

May we experience the fragrance, the music... the beauty of beauty today.  

With heart and soul, 
Charlene
