They say beauty comes from a spirit that has weathered many hardships in life

and somehow continues with resilience.

Grace can be found in a soul who ages softly, even amid the tempest.

I think the loveliest by far is the one whose gentle heart bears

a hundred scars from caring, yet still finds a way

to pick up the lamp, one more time, to light the way for love.

~Susan Frybort

there are so many sweet ways toward the sacred…

inquiry for today~ in the groove of the ordinary….

the love that knows…

Love does not consist of gazing at each other,

but in looking outward together in the same direction.

~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
