A PROFOUND BEAUTY - I do not seek this for it is terrifying...
Haggard, Inconstant Splashes of Beauty
A profound beauty can often be found in the ordinary.
Will you look for it with me today?
The cost is nothing and the value is high.
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then let us become beholders.
Yes, people will laugh at us if we see beauty where they do not. Let us think of this laughter as our gift to them. We should laugh a little, too.
And now I will tell you a dark secret that is also a paradox: the richest of all beauties - the one that takes your breath away - is deeply terrifying.
It grants me new life when it appears, but I do not seek it. For this richest beauty happens only when my world collapses and my only hope is in God.
Perhaps you, too, have been there
There is a quickening, a wiggle of life when we're in extremis, a rearrangement of priorities, deep and clear. The problem that's about to swallow you whole becomes a pool of water that serves as a magnifying glass and for a moment you see everything clearly.
As I said, I do not seek this richest of beauties, for it is terrifying...
...Even so, let us look for beauty - in the calm - of the ordinary.
