What brings meaning to life? Beauty….

What brings meaning to life?  What is beauty? I just saw a picture of El Capitan in Yosemite with water flowing over its surface as the sundown turns it to a fiery gold –to be there to see it in person must be “overflowing”.  The beauty we find around us each day– some daffodils leaning over the curve of a walkway, a chick-a-dee at the feeder, a nuthatch going up and down the tree–the budding lime green peeking from the garish brown branches of the forest giving us the promise of warm weather.  Warm weather.  Nessun Dorma with Pavarotti, a child singing “I Am a Child of God”, a children’s chorus singing “Little Bird”– all thrill and touch our souls. So much beauty, countless like the cells that form ourselves and all the stars in the heavens–it’s everywhere.  The beauty within of a loving and giving person, of someone you can trust, of someone who cares, of all those who love. The Savior. Life itself.
