“Of life’s two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer’s hand.” - Kahlil Gibran
The truly beautiful life is made so by the service it provides to the world which encounters it. Through the people that we care for and the things that we create, we manage to give our lives this extraordinary aura that will continue to glow long after we have passed. While we are here, it is such an extraordinary blessing to be in the center of that glow, to see hearts open up because ours have opened to them, to see ideas be made manifest because we took initiative. So much more beauty can be realized in the world around us when we realize how much is coming from us.
