"Justice is the restoration of beauty to all that is broken." ~ St. Bonaventure
Lately we have been having some gorgeous days in the Portland area! I love these days of blue sky and sunshine with a tinge of autumn in the air ... A couple of weeks ago I was able to enjoy some days away for my annual retreat. How wonderful it was to get away and have time to soak in a great deal of "beauty" that is in our world! The Trappist Abbey of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lafayette, Oregon provided a perfect setting - check out the photo!
With that image before me I am reminded of the quote from St. Bonaventure that I have included in this posting. If we all were more aware of the beauty that is within us first, see the beauty in each individual person we meet, and reverence the beauty of creation that is all around us, I suspect we would have a very different world ....a more just and peaceful world in which to live in.
Take a little quiet time today and reflect on your life and the world you move in. May
each one of us strive to restore beauty to that which is broken!
Congratulations on your blog. I hope you find it as fascinating as I do--even just coming up with topics! It's amazing how much we have to write about. Great photo!
