Beauty and Love

Beauty and Love are as body and soul.

Beauty is the mind, LOVE is the diamond.

They have been together since the beginning of time.

Side by side, step by step.

~ Rumi

Beauty

We are visual folks, and in a way that's good. It helps to be able to see things -- danger, color so we can choose a riper piece of fruit, stay on a path. And sure, eye candy is nice. It's easier to rest our peeps on pleasing faces. 

But ya know what? The external really and truly is wrapping paper. It's packaging. It's a plus, but it ain't the real deal. I know you know this. Just a gentle reminder. 

Bonus Post: Sensuality

Sensuality. I'm feeling it.~~GH

This haiku by incredible haiku poet and Facebook friend, John Tiong Chunghoo, rocks me to my core:

In my heart
You glow
Like a painting

And this music video by Nina Simone

These few moments of beauty are yours. Repeat liberally. ~~GH
