briefly

As I experience it, appreciation of beauty is access to
the soul. With beauty in our lives, we walk and carry
ourselves more lightly and with a different look in our
eyes. To look into the eyes of someone beholding beauty
is to look through the windows of the soul. Any time we
catch a glimpse of soul, beauty is there; any time we catch
our breath and feel “How beautiful!,” the soul is present.
