'Let the Beauty we love be what we do.

There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.'

- Rumi

Trish at Peony Princess is creating these lovely hanging glass jars

for an upcoming wedding that she is designing for a friend.

I think they are so beautiful!

They reminded me of these words by John O'Donahue

which he wrote about Beauty.

'The human soul is hungry for beauty; we seek it everywhere - in the landscape

music, art, clothes, furniture, gardening, companionship, love,

religion and in ourselves.

At first, it sounds completely naive to suggest that now might be

a time to invoke and awaken beauty.

Yet,

when we experience the Beautiful, there is a sense of homecoming.

Some of our most wonderful memories are of beautiful places where we felt immediately at home.

We feel most alive in the presence of the Beautiful for it meets the needs of our soul.

... we can slip into the Beautiful with the same ease we slip into the seamless embrace

of water; something ancient within us already trusts that this embrace will hold us.

When we awaken to the call of Beauty, we become aware of new ways

of being in the world. We were created to be creators, and

at its deepest heart, creativity is meant to serve and evoke beauty.

The wonder of the Beautiful is its ability to surprise us.

With swift, sheer grace, it is like a divine breath that blows the heart open.
