Beauty is the opposite of control.
It is wild. Hairy. Unpredictable, like the trajectory of a storm. It can’t be adequately captured with words. It defies constructs of law and order by its chaotic nature and is at the same time compassionate, merciful, and just. It is the Sister and impassioned lover of logic. It is the birthright and innocence of all creation.
Beauty is the illogical, unexpected, at times “inappropriate,” alchemical heat of attraction. It is where love is ignited, children are born, and nature flourishes with color and bounty. It can be felt in the roar of changing tides, envisioned in a sliver of moon, activated in a spark of genius, heard in the song of a thousand voices. It is curvaceous, irregular, serpentine; green, ripe, and wilted. It is a glorious scent, and the taste of deep, rich nourishment.
When our natural appetite for beauty is forlorn, our spirit becomes restless, voracious, addicted, and numb.
The power of beauty is that it is exquisitely simple, yet speaks volumes without words or the slightest effort. In our modern state of constantly efforting, achieving, documenting and analyzing, beauty largely eludes us. Black and white typeset characters, calculations, values, virtues and judgements fly in the face of beauty, with catastrophic consequences.
Is it possible there is more to our human existence than we’ve agreed upon and taken as “truth” in our current predicament?
You are invited to join me in an adventure that will recapture, re-vision, and renew our human relationship with the divine through an exploration and extraordinary expression of beauty. Artists, writers, dancers, healers, lovers and hopeless romantics are encouraged to email me for details and to “opt in”…
Love, health, and free in body and spirit,
Jennifer
