Thank you for this. What a deeply moving meditation by your guests. Very calming and centering, as if this is the crucial point. Makes me feel quiet and also want to shout for joy!!
Wonderful. Great to hear from you.

I enjoyed this meditation on beauty’s relationship with the divine, as I’ve always thought it true. However, we can’t be Pollyannaish. There is a great deal of beauty in this world, but also a great deal of ugliness as well. In fact, as I’ve grown to see more beauty in the world, I have, as a consequence begun to see more ugliness too–the contrast has become more stark. I’m never sure how to deal with this fact. Perhaps the apocalyptosists were onto something.
I guess when we open up to life we become vulnerable, too. Maybe that’s why we so often refuse to look?
It’s a good season for seeing the beauty all around us, isn’t it?
Thanks Mary, I love this project.
Thanks Barbara, I’m so happy you like it.
