Beauty Transforms

Beauty transforms us, but it is truly a mystery why. Perhaps the apprehension of Beauty is a portal in which we are open to a spiritual dimension that the busyness of our everyday lives has obscured. We get a view of the essence of things, feeling that essence. Suddenly there is quiet and we can hear. At such times it is important to just sit and let Beauty do its work.

Perhaps this is why we love gardens. Like bees and the butterflies, we are drawn by flowers and plants. Something latent listens, smells, sees. We enter the Eternal Present.

This month we were visited by a group of photographers lead by Lowell Downey of Art and Clarity and he gifted us with these photos, portals themselves.
