True beauty, the kind that doesn’t fade or wash off, takes time. It takes pressure. It takes incredible endurance. It is the slow drip that makes the stalactite, the shaking of the earth that creates mountains, the constant pounding of the waves that break up the rocks and smooths the rough edges. And from the violence, the furor, the raging of the winds, the roaring of the waters, something better emerges, something that would otherwise never exist. And so we endure. We have faith that there is purpose. We hope for things we cant see. We believe that there are lessons in loss, power in love, and that we have within us the potential for a beauty so magnificent that our bodies cant contain it. Amy Harmon

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whether it be beauty of art, beauty of flowers, beauty of music, beauty of nature, beauty of people, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. From time to time, you see something that makes you stop and think “Wow!” Beautiful is in the eye of the beholder."
