Illumination of the Soul




"Beauty is the illumination of your soul."
John O'Donohue

Recently, I have been noticing shifts in the appearances of those who are aging.  There are those who take their wrinkles in stride while others resort to cosmetic surgery.  I do not believe there is a right nor wrong, but this makes me aware of my definition of beauty.

To me, all children are brilliantly beautiful as their radiance beams freely without mental or emotional censorship.  When I consider my connection with kindred spirits, beauty is based on the illumination of compassion, courage, and generosity.

Too often, we hide our uniqueness out of fear of rejection.  We stifle our creative expression out of fear of judgment.  We adorn our physical bodies hoping to distract from our fear of not being enough.  We must step through these false fears and shine, baby shine!
