Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Beauty is the love that we devote to an object.
— Paul Sérusier
What we find beautiful is not a trivial matter in our lives. Beauty, wherever we experience it, can be nourishment, relaxation, stimulation, healing, appetite, variety, individual choice, aliveness, or awe. Color, rhythm, scent, and texture are elements of everything we encounter, from food to music to books to sexual expression. The beauty of spareness speaks to some, the beauty of abundance to others.
The beauty we find in nature, whether we’re seeing dramatic ocean waves or single drops of water, awakens and restores us. The beauty we create in our home and work environments expresses deep needs of our soul at any given time in our development. The unique beauty of each of our bodies, faces, rhythms of moving and speaking, visions and dreams, and journeys of growth and unfolding can be as beautiful as anything else in this world.
Our spirits are fulfilled and satisfied by the many forms of beauty that reverberate through our lives.
