Beauty
Beauty bless you,
behold you, become you.
May her light kindle within you
to radiate outwards with
warmth, love and compassion.
May she share her gift,
infusing you with the understanding
that all world beauty is but
a reflection of your soul’s
mirror shining out.
May goddess sustain you,
may sister love you,
may you feel Beauty
near, far, inwards, outwards,
all through your blessed being.

‘Blessings from the Faeryfae’
Real Beauty has strength, enduring, powerful, healing, floodlike. Beauty is the bedrock of health, of life, love. Beauty is deep, rich, rooted into the earth, and air, water, fire, a majesty, a magic, transformative. Inviting Beauty into your life, making space, opening your heart, eyes, quieting your mind, feeling your body, letting her infuse the spaces within and surroundings without, is allowing joy, gratefulness, quiet to become your life. She is a treasure, a diamond amongst sand, a flame within the heart. Open, so that she can fill your world with the wonder she is, that you are.
