"There is a depth of truth, this depth of being that wants itself known, felt, expressed, met. It makes you want to soar, to fly on eagle wings, to master your own dreams, to find true freedom. To create a masterpiece of life. Take all the pieces of life and create a new quilt. One that shines with love and light."

Savor Beauty


Pink and golden sunrise painting the sky

The poppies nodding in the breeze


Roses unfolding to the sun

Mountains of purple splendor rising above the plain.



The unbelievable arch of the rainbow,

Twisted canyons of red rock


Forests standing in awesome silence.

The perfect orb of the full moon,
Shinning in the night sky.

The majestic flight of the eagle,
Wings spread to the light.
Things of beauty to delight

Crystal goblets glimmering
Heavenly music to sooth our soul
The touch of silk upon our skin.
The unexpected feeling of joy,
That bubbles from your heart.
All those smiles of love and kindness
And children’s happy laughter on the air.
The touch of a baby’s hand
The delightful fragrance of baking bread

Candles glowing in the night
Things of beauty to delight.
                                           Lovelight



In this world of violence and indifference, we can help remove ourselves from those things that upset our peace and happiness by savoring beauty.


There is purity in beauty, whether it is a work of nature, art or everyday simplicity. To see the beauty in the world that surrounds us is to see God. To appreciate the depth and color of a rose or the tenderness of the tough of a hand lifted in caring is how life brings us joy. Everything has beauty.


Seek beauty as you would happiness, love or joy, for if you find the beauty in what you seek it will just increase your sense of enjoyment.

Beauty is not, just what we see with the eyes, but a sense of fineness, a glow, something we can feel and touch. It can enwrap our world with delight and awe, if we will allow ourselves to live within the midst of it. There is beauty to be found in everything and everyone. We are just so bruised and blunted we miss all the best. Beauty comes from the heart and is in the “eye of the beholder”. For everyone sees beauty differently. Savor beauty. Look for it in the center of your surroundings. In the smallest details of life. The hidden beauty will be revealed and you will find delight within your soul, which will lift you to joy.


"Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God."
                                                                                                                 Jean Anouilh



"I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, — light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful."
                                                                                      John Constable
