Too Busy for Beauty

**Sit quietly, eyes closed and in silence for one minute before reading.**

    Beauty requires us to slow down. Beauty requires being seen, heard, felt and experienced. Beauty requires time. It requires time to listen fully and deeply to a piece of music. It requires time to take in the natural beauty of water, mountains, flowers and forests. It requires time to look at a piece of art, understand its story and consider what it means for you. It requires time to see the person standing before you, sitting next to you.

    God has given us beauty in so many forms and in our hurried world filled with superficial extras we miss beauty. We miss God.

    How will you take time for beauty today?

**Sit again in silence for as long as is available to you.**
