Why don't we notice the breathtaking beauty in each person whom we encounter? Why don't we risk speaking words of truth and generosity when we do notice? May I take note of each person whose path I cross. May I see all people as striking creations of the Most Beautiful One who are worthy of affirmation and, in fact, possibly desperate for it.

Beauty
Basically a little addendum to the Truth and Beauty post. I wrote this on Sunday, September 29, 2013.
The MOST remarkable thing happened to me this morning. The woman taking my order at Starbucks looked up from her register to acknowledge me and spontaneously exclaimed "You are beautiful! Do you know that? You are absolutely beautiful!" NOTHING like that has EVER happened to me. Total stranger. Day made!!!!
