Meditation - Life Is So Beautiful!
Hello, my dear WA Family, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, or good night from wherever part of this wonderful world you came from.
Here is another one of my daily short meditations by Anne Wilson Schaef, Ph.D.
Thank you so much, and the topic is
Beauty
Happily, may I walk,
May it be beautiful before me.
May it be beautiful behind me.
May it be beautiful below me.
May it be beautiful above me.
May it be beautiful all around me.
In beauty, it is finished.
- Navajo prayer -
If one reads this prayer very slowly, one feels its immensely profound simplicity. Imagine ourselves surrounded by beauty!
When we think of being surrounded by beauty, we think of some island paradise or Shangri-la.
Yet when we read this poem slowly, we begin to realize we are surrounded by beauty! We see that this prayer is not only a request. It is simultaneously, a statement of fact.
My life does have elements of beauty before, behind, below, and above me. I am surrounded by beauty.
"WHEW! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!"
Thank you all so much for your precious time reading this post.
God be with you all always in all ways.
In light, love, joy, blessings, and peace,
Elizabeth

I find beauty if I look hard enough--sometimes it's even obvious form the start, Elizabeth!

Yes, Bux, and I know you are one
of them when you were created by
our Almighty Father. You are perfectly
done and that is amazing.

Many thoughts come to mind when I read this prayer. I have found that by slowing down and looking at what has been GIVEN to each of us, we have no other choice than to be thankful for such wonders and to appreciate them for what they are. A GIFT FOR EACH OF US TO APPRECIATE AND THE GOODNESS THEY REPRESENT.

Yes, Jerry, and all around us are wonders
that were created for us to use, enjoy and
be more productive with them and thus be
more aware and grateful.
Thank you ever so much, Jerry.
Have a beautiful, bountiful, and blessed
New Year 2022 and beyond.
Thank you more for the opportunity to have
known you and I do greatly appreciate you,
your kindness and support.
Peace and blessings to you and all
your loved ones.
