"Beauty will save the world." ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
No matter what we face, however we feel, let's aim to see beauty and bring beauty into the world today.
Consider the words of Etty Hillesum, the young woman who faced death at Auschwitz and wrote, "I know what may lie in wait for us… and yet I find life beautiful and meaningful."
We all have this capacity to see beauty and meaning in life, in everything, no matter what.
Beauty can heal us, renew us, give us hope, and inspire us to actions that save the world.
Of course, love can do this too. As can compassion, strength, hope, faith....all our gifts. Let's be open to them. But today, let's be especially open to beauty. May it uplift and inspire us to be our best.
To our best,
Charlene
