Great reflection, great reminder, Denise. I tend to close myself off even to the possibly beautiful in order to shield myself from the ugly and depraved. I will pray for more openness to those whom God has, indeed, chosen to live in this time and place.
I understand your thoughts here. I think we need to figure out ways to bring the real beauty forward. It IS difficult, for sure. But I see it being done in myriad small ways all around me and I dare to hope.
Thank you for this perspective!
