What is Beauty?

Description

What is beauty? How do we find it inside and out? I’m looking at beauty through heaven’s eyes, and I hear Swedenborg’s tender witness that “people in heaven are continually advancing to the springtime of their life,” which means to grow old in heaven is to grow young, and it shows as real beauty that lasts. Love in action reshapes the face and the heart, because “their goodness and thoughtfulness is what gives them their form,” so the radiance we notice arrives from within, then blossoms without. Beauty is thoughtfulness. I invite us to practice thoughtfulness today, to let kindness become visible, unique, alive, until the pleasure and beauty of thoughtfulness shine from every corner of our lives.
