Little Nudges from our Inward Teacher about Beauty

Beauty is a free spirit. [ John ODonohue ]

The media generate relentless images of mediocrity and ugliness in talk shows… And so we gain a clear view of how much ugliness we endure and allow… [ ODonohue ]

But Beauty is a free spirit. [ ODonohue ]

The media are becoming the global mirror and these shows tend to enshrine the ugly as the normal standard. [ ODonohue ]

But Beauty is a free spirit. [ ODonohue ]

Beauty is mostly forgotten and made to seem naïve and romantic. [ ODonohue ]

But Beauty is a free spirit. She enables us to go with, rather than against the deepest tendencies of the Cosmos. [ ODonohue ]

The wonder of Beauty is her ability to surprise us. [ ODonohue ]

With swift, sheer grace Beauty is like a divine breath that blows the heart open. [ ODonohue ]

The liveliness of Beauty is so fulfilling, we simply enjoy it. [ ODonohue ]

It never occurs to us to ask what purpose Beauty serves. [ODonohue ]

When we affirm anothers beauty, we affirm something that cannot be owned or drawn into the grid of small-mindedness or emotional need. [ ODonohue ]

There is a profound nobility in beauty that can elevate life. [ ODonohue ]

Nature is full of hidden geometry and harmony, as is the human mind. [ ODonohue ]

A smile can completely transform a face. Ultimately, it is the soul that makes the face beautiful. Each face is its own landscape. [ ODonohue ]

We feel beautiful when we are loved, and to evoke an awareness of beauty in another is to give them a precious gift they will never lose. [ ODonohue ]

Beauty is a free spirit. [ODonohue ]

Who are our Companions of Beauty? our kindred spirits poets, painters, & stichers, composers and potters, musicians and writers, those who take walks with us to see Beauty, Who are our close Companions of Beauty who journey with us… ?

What are our Places of Beauty? where we sense a Presence as no where else? Places of Stillness, of home, Where we go for healing, To find ourselves again…

What are our Doorways into Beauty we have not entered? Beauty we have not experienced because we have not risked going through that door,

Could the obstacles to that door which we created become stepping stones, so now we take our companions of Beauty with us? ( We ask, would you come with me?) Beauty is waiting for us on the other side… Beauty is waiting for our arrival…

Who are our Companions of Beauty? Our Places of Beauty The Doorways we have not walked through, into new Beauty?

In what you have just experienced, What will you take home with you, To noodle on, ruminate and chew on, Maybe take a walk to look for Beauty Maybe just sit quietly for 5 minutes and absorb a poem, a little music, the view through your window?

Beauty is a free spirit. [ ODonohue ]
