The Power of Beauty

The Power of Beauty

 

 

True beauty is a vibration –

Reverberating in the essence of all things –

It has the energy of truth and wisdom.

 

When we are moved by a beautiful experience

We stand in resonance…

And beauty becomes a key…

It turns in the lock and

It opens the doorway to our Soulsong…

That part of us that yearns to be expressed –

And we can feel its true wonder.

 

Beauty clears a pathway from our soul into the world.

From potential to reality…

We can embrace our true desires

In the way we live the everyday of who we are.

From dreaming to waking, from waking to sleeping.

 

Beauty opens the rusty gates of a caged heart

And hums with the possibility of bliss and freedom.

 

Beauty is a guide and a compass

It gracefully directs us towards essence and wholeness.

It is a way of accessing deep self.

 

Beauty has a resonance that scatters

hatred,

And anger

And fear

And sadness.

And thoughts of “I can’t.”

 

It is hard to dwell in doubt

In moments of outstanding beauty.

The hiss and pop and colour of a firework display,

A single perfect flower,

The smell of earth after rain,

An athlete’s grace and power…

Moonrise and starshine

A newborn life…

A moment of true love,

Or being truly seen and appreciated just for being you.

 

It is hard to dwell in spiritual blindness

In moments of breathtaking beauty.

The reflection of a whole world in a dew-drop

As it nestles on a blade of bright grass.

The feeling of success or clarity or deep satisfaction.

Birdsong,

A heart connecting embrace,

The whisper of water over rocks…

 

It is hard to dwell in an inertial void

In moments of exquisite beauty.

Eyes meeting with a smile,

Music that sings just for you…

An elegant architectural arc,

A dance executed with joy and freedom,

A work of art that speaks to your spirit,

A child playing,

A dream of joy…

 

This beauty is warrior kindness and angelic grace.

It can edge out worry and fear and the dreaded “Am I enough?”

And take us deep, to touch the quintessential source,

And it expands us in thought and emotion.

It gives us access to the truth of who we are.

It the embodiment of gentle power.

 

Beauty shifts perspective.

It lifts our eyes from the tight and the subjective

And from the curse of constant objectivity –

Allowing us to see our vision from mountaintops and

from the bright spark and intimate longing within.

 

Beauty is a key

That opens the way to wisdom and blissful wealth…

 

It speaks to us in the language

Of universal consciousness and in

Individual whispers meant just for you.

Beauty is the bridge between what is out there

Flowing in the world

And what is beautiful within.

 

It is an everything.

 

Love Philippa
