i love the Beauty
that Is.
i love Liquid Beauty
ever-changing,
capable of great variation,
accepting, but influential,
deep,
mysterious,
hidden,
yet knowable.
i love the Beauty that softens me,
inspires me,
challenges me,
invites my resonance,
comforts me,
unleashes my curiosity,
begs for involvement.
i love Beauty within
as well as beyond.
i love Beauty’s voices,
clear,
complex,
familiar.
Beauty, i love you.
Beauty,
Your love
uses all forms to reach me.
Beauty, i praise You.
May emulation
lead past imitation
to the meeting ground of Truth.
O Beauty!
