When you practice beauty, you have time in your life,
because beauty takes you into the timeless. Beauty requires stillness, pausing,
stopping in your tracks at the sight of the new blossom in the almond tree or
the cactus flower that only blooms for one night. As you practice beauty you
get to taste infinity and touch your own immortality. You will have time to
laugh, time to meditate, time to help others.
