Beauty
(page 6)
Nature's beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.
It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
Beauty is the lover's gift.
Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground — as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
