We are created magnificently.
We have beautiful bodies and faces, kind hearts and hands that will not give up.
We all are built and designed for continual renewal.
Examples are all around, not just in human form, but look to nature and see this truth unfold before you, such as all the flowers, just waiting to be placed within a vase of water, or to simply touch.
I won’t give up this awareness. I hope we won't give this up.
Perhaps begin with seeing yourself, your body, your face as something good and beautiful.
Perhaps we see this and speak affirmations to ourselves and to all around us.
Perhaps walk in nature and exclaim to the heavens, that yes! This is good.
Perhaps then, we may be filled with bold delight, that we may see “streams within the wastelands”, and that together with Divine guidance, we are active participants in rebuilding, renewing, and intentionally stewarding loveliness in all.
