Beauty…
What is beauty? A stunning landscape, sparkling light off the sea, rich green grass; a face that draws the eye: fine lines, intriguing gaze…
But what then is spiritual beauty?
A sense of what is beyond: light, purity, of what it greater, and better, than we are…
Water, for the desert. Inspiration, for the artist and activist.
Purpose, in simply being alive.

A fuller discovery of our being.
An actualization of our design.

For life, real life, true and testing, in all of its abundance, is worthy of the search, worthy of the struggle, worthy of sacrifice.
True life demands our all, and in return offers us the most stunning encounter with beauty.
For what else is worth living and dying for?
