Recognizing Beauty, Love, and Goodness

A tile-mosaic floor depicting birds and other animals has been found under a field in Gaza so well-preserved it could have been buried yesterday. Olive farmer Salman al-Nabahin was planting new trees when he chanced upon the ancient relic which is believed to date from the Byzantine era. “I see it as a treasure, dearer than a treasure,” said Salman. “It isn’t personal, it belongs to every Palestinian.”
“There is divine potential at the depths of your being, awaiting your discovery. This holy treasure is not yours alone; it is the essence of Spirit's life within us all. As we uncover it in ourselves, we recognize it in others. So too, as we admire it in others, we feel its power within us. Undivided beauty and goodness.” – Scott Awbrey
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I’m hanging out today in the beauty, love, and goodness of life, recognizing it in myself and in my sisters and brothers. I give thanks to be in this heavenly realm, and I serve as a point of spiritual reference that others may know the truth of their own being. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
