If you have been afraid that your love of beautiful flowers and the flickering flame of the candle is somehow less spiritual than living in starkness and ugliness, remember that He who created you to be creative gave you the things with which to make beauty and the sensitivity to appreciate and respond to His creation. ↗
What we have loved, others will love, and we will teach them how; instruct them how the mind of man becomes a thousand times more beautiful than the earth on which he dwells... ↗

You can see where it was, years ago. Like an old woman who was once beautiful, but time has taken her beauty away. ↗
Learn about what you need to know by watching disney movies. Watch Pocahontas to learn about some of America's history. Watch Snow White to learn about what not to do with strangers who give you food. Watch The Little Mermaid to learn about what goes on in the ocean. Watch Beauty and the Beast to learn how to love people by who they are. Watch Cinderella to learn how to be a princess from a commoner. Watch Aladdin to learn about why monkey and genie friends shouldn't be taken for granted. ↗

They are transient also, but hint at the dark planes that stretch beyond the earth in every direction, full of stars and dust, toward a retreating, incomprehensible edge ↗
