I discovered myself and the world, and forgot them, and discovered them again - Annie Dillard

Beauty and grace are performed whether or not we will or sense them. The least we can do is try to be there.

We are here to abet creation and to witness it, to notice each thing so each thing gets noticed. Together we notice not only each mountain shadow and each stone on the beach but we notice each other's beautiful face and complex nature so that creation need not play to an empty house.

People love the good not much less than the beautiful, and the happy as well, or even just the living, for the world of it all, and heart's home.
