Beauty

Even though I stopped doing ballet after ten years, I'm still a dancer inside. I was struck by this picture, so I thought I'd add some thoughts and post it.

Beauty is a miraculous part of our world! It is such a mercy of God to allow this journey to be sprinkled with lovely moments, like wholesome physical beauty, or hidden psychological consolations, or the elegance of nature's laws, or a holy soul or a holy deed.

And as an aside, one of the things I think of the most when I think of beauty is the feminine body and soul. So, this picture says a lot: in every ordinary woman there is a natural beauty inside.
