Butterfly Beauty

But there is a nature which dwells inside also. Just enjoy that also. There are beautiful hills, beautiful sceneries, and beautiful things created for you by God, but there is a scenery, beautiful mountains, beautiful air, beautiful sound, beautiful light inside also created for you.

This is why finding a place you can go to each day where you have time to meditate, if only a short time, is important. Finding the beauty outside requires only for us to open our eyes and find it. You can find the outer beauty any where you are. But looking inward and finding the beauty within you takes a little more practice.

In a quiet place, sit down, close your eyes and look inward until you touch that place of peace and joy within.  You will be refreshed.

My Inspiration

 

 

For a boy, I had been doing extraordinary things, which caused much wonder. Before I could walk, I could play on the piano, with one finger, any tunes that I heard, then, gradually, with all fingers, even the complex melodies played by blind Mr. Maynard, who, to me, was the greatest man in all the world.
Mr. Maynard lived in the dark but walked and talked with God in the Light. And what the soul of Creation told his Soul, he told me - and I walked and talked with God in those early days in His wonderlands of Peat Meadow and the huge oaks down in Bachelder’s wilds where nobody went but me, for no one else in all My World heard what I heard there - nor saw what I saw there - so it was mine alone, all that glory just mine alone.

I wanted a quote that matched the photo. I thought this one speaks to the photo. And the quote suggests to you, if you open your heart and eyes, these things become visible to you.

As I sat in the woods  the other day, resting with my dogs, before the hike back up to the car, I saw this blaze of light highlighting this tree. I thought about the way the light seem to create a halo around the baby bush and how the rest of the undergrowth was in darkness. But then I began to look around. I found another spot of sunlight, then another, and then another. Suddenly I knew the whole under growth, for as far as I could see, glowed with light even in the deepest shadow.

I felt at once humbled and inspired.

Start your week with a Monday full of inspiration.
