The Beauty We Cannot See

We are blessed to live in a world surrounded by beauty… in the sky…on the land..the sea. but today I’d like to take a moment and celebrate some of the beauty we cannot see. We cannot see the wind as she lifts the branches of the tree. We cannot see the air we breathe…or the force of gravity. We cannot see a child growing…even a child of our own. Their growth is imperceptible…we only notice that they’ve grown. An artist’s painting, an author’s book, a composer’s music… these are things we are able to see… but we cannot see their moment of inspiration… their imagination their creativity. We cannot look inside another person and see their hopes, their dreams, their fears. We cannot see the words ‘I love you’ travel from our lips to another’s ears. Where our wishes are created…this we cannot see… or where these wishes end up…once we set them free. We cannot see the sadness that surrounds the soul when two lovers part. We cannot see the hidden room where love begins in the comfort of our heart I will never take for granted all the wonder…all the beauty surrounding me… but every now and then I like to close my eyes and give a little thanks for all the things I cannot see.
