See the beauty!

This Labor Day morning I am reminded of the message, See the beauty! The message came as I drove through British Columbia, Canada last year. I was on a road which I really hadn’t planned on, but recommended by a motorcyclist. A beautiful lake, followed by a stunning glacier, and yet another gorgeous glacier. This time when I got out of the car to walk a short path, I was overcome with tears of joy at the beauty of its sight, sound, smell, power, and glorious gentle strength which were accompanied by the words, See The Beauty! In that moment, as I took in the beauty, I realized that part of my life’s mission is to always see the beauty in and through all. With my focus on the beauty in and through ALL, it is impossible for me to be upset, as I honor the process that is life. Oh yes, there are challenges to continually Seeing the Beauty, like when being tailgated in an area where there were hairpin turns and no pull offs. How to see the beauty in the tailgater behind me? Might he/she be in such a hurry because of rushing to assist someone in a difficult situation? Sending love to others is my response now to tailgaters and in other situations; but, prior to this I used to be agitated with drivers displaying this behavior. Each day brings its opportunities to choose to focus on seeing the beauty or not. I choose to see the beauty with gladness in knowing the choice is mine.
