We all hold the potential for a beautiful life.
We know it’s true; we’ve all – each of us – experienced moments of supreme beauty.

Dumbstruck by the view from a seacliff or mountaintop.
Exhilarated by the thrill and rush of sexual love.
Adrenalized when keen attention overcomes danger.
Touched by the beaming, uncontained smile of a child.

We feel it within us as beauty becomes bright and clear
Then wonder why it fades, hidden behind the troubles of the day
But we know – for sure! – that life can be beautiful.

Ours is simply, most difficultly, to realize that potential.
Every day.
