‘Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.’ Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is full of beauty. We can look at it. We can capture it and contain it. We can buy it, sell it, or flaunt it. We can utterly surround ourselves with it…. But if beauty isn’t in us…. we will never really have it.
We can live in a beautiful home but that alone cannot give us a beautiful life. We can pamper ourselves and powder ourselves, and pull every attractive trait we may have to the surface, but if there is not beauty within us, no beauty will be reflected out into the world.
It is true; this world is full of beauty…. but if we do not carry it within us, it is never really ours.
