Beauty of the moment

There is, in just one moment, enough beauty to last a lifetime. How much of it can you see right now?

In every tiny detail there is beauty. In every broad horizon there is even more.

Beauty is more than just glamour or brilliance. Beauty is found in the truth of what is.

When you can see a little beauty, you open yourself to seeing more. Were you to see it all, there would be no end to the joy.

Take in a little of the beauty of this moment. And you’ll carry it with you wherever you go.

The more beauty you see and love, the more beautiful life will be.

— Ralph Marston
