Beauty

The Beauty
you craved in
things was
always my
face seen
through a veil.

Turn Around.

See now where
Beauty comes
from.
....Rumi



A powerful word Beauty. Its definition is of course different for everyone. Artists share their visions. Nature stuns us. A kind word or gesture completes us. It's all in how we perceive Beauty that matters and gives the word its meaning. Beauty likes to hide and we need to seek it out. All of our senses detect beauty and are often left abandoned in its wake. As they say ,try to find a little beauty each day- that's my goal for this year.
This is my entry for the Take A Word Challenge this week. Imagery credits go to Dover, Holliewood at Deviantart scraps, assorted artist papers.

    Lori..so exquistely beautiful..the words, prose, and your wonderful insights and special messages! Magnificent, decadent and serenely full of harmony and a powerful peaceful glow I can feel!

    I love the imagery you create..I am a very energy-sensory and visual person..so I always enjoy the many layers I can experience in your work. I could imagine wearing this imagery...as a beautiful crown chakra or energy veil around me and feels its healing beauty and gifts vibing through!
    Thankyou!
