Unparalleled Beauty

I recently had the opportunity to view the most breathtaking pictures of natural beauty- sometimes there are no applicable words to describe the sights we see, only thoughts and feelings and the emotions that they evoke.
These crystalline shining shapes are actually balls of hail which can be seen in the picture. They are the size of large marbles - almost incomprehensible as they were pouring down.
And as forceful as they pushed their way down, the sun appears, brilliantly glowing- and then setting in pure peace, without a memory of their presence to be found.
See the sights in front of you. But be reflective, because sometimes we travel at such a fast pace that so much of what we see is actually a blur.
Take the time to look- and taken in all that is really in front of you- for what's ahead may actually be found above.
Sometimes, our days may seem like we're just traveling in circles.
And other times, we feel like pinching ourselves because life just seems to be perfect -and it feels too good to be real.
Be available to try new things, explore, let your heart soar.
Sometimes, we need to just be. Feel the restful wholeness of peace by not moving, take a second to stay in one place, be in the moment, be alive in stillness.
Shine.
Discover- be surprised, feel the awe!
See the natural beauty all around- it can't get any better than this. Perfectly shaped grapes in harmony with each other, with shades of blue, a texture of velvet, and a taste of the sublime.
Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors.
Let the light in- share your soul.
Let your spirit soar.
Where ever you look, there are hearts just waiting to be discovered.
Share yours today.
