Shining outward


morning beauty
Originally uploaded by soulvision.

When I walk, I fill myself with nature's beauty.

It fills what is empty, heals what is sick, settles what is troubled.

I am delighted and inspired by the beauty around me, the fragrant sagebrush in grassy fields, gently slopping down the hillside. This is the beauty of nature. Virtue is the beauty of a person. It is what makes them lovely and unusual. It is the color, form, shape of their personality. It is the way they do things; the way they move and speak. If a person has virtue, they will always seem rich, for everything that is close to them will be filled with quality.
