(I found this in my drafts folder from around three years ago, so I thought to sow it here)

Beauty does not linger, it only visits. Yet beauty’s visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm, it calls us to feel, think and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the beautiful.*
(John O’Donohue)

what do you want to say?  Why does it need to be said?  What if you could say it in a way that has never been done?  How might you do that?**
(Warren Berger)

The beauty you long to see may well be held within the seed you are holding in your mind, your heart and your hand.

It looks like nothing at all but if you plant it then you may be surprised.
