Why I Still Believe in Beauty

Tonight I was at a vocal performance by a group of young people (compared to me, well, young and younger) ranging in age from about 4 or 5 to 28 or so. Each person performed a solo and sang their heart out.

All of them were talented, a few were amazingly talented. Like everyone in the audience, I clapped and hooted and cheered each one on.

What if we did that for each other? What if we just started clapping and hooting and cheering each other on? What if we said, "Thank you, you're the best toll taker!" or, "Wow! You are the kindest barber!" What if we consistently and deliberately found a way to make people feel good about themselves?

What would that world be like? Heaven. And the Kingdom of Heaven is among us.

It is so sweet of you to read this!

Blessings,
David
