Beauty
What is it?
The beauty of this place is astounding. Meadows, vistas, mountains.
Does our village hold the same beauty? Does my dwelling?
❖
Is beauty in the distance, or can it be close, seem in small things? Can it live in imperfection and brokenness?
Am I beautiful?
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I see beauty around me, Lord?
