Beauty




“A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”  Proverbs 25:11

A single word in a private, transparent conversation can be especially beautiful, just as common fruit becomes still more beautiful in silver baskets.  I had such an experience today in conversation with a  young woman I’ve known for the last 5 years, one who dared to be real with me.  We sat lakeside with white caps crashing across the water and invited our souls to touch.  It was an honor, and a beautiful tribute to her authenticity and the potential of our relationship.

Beauty is a thing seldom seen. It is held by all within the soul, waiting to come out to the surface, but can only be found when another joins you there... 
– Urban Dictionary
