THOU ART BEAUTY!

Thou Art Beauty!

born beyond being…

rare and simple purity

fragile power — timeless mortality.

  Complex simplicity, perfectly sublime:

undying yet reborn.

Serenity in action, uncompromised by time.

 No dance can sway Thee

No psalm can say Thee

No sight can see Thee

No sense can be Thee

 You Are that You Are

as ever You will be.

Thou Art Beauty!

LOVE IS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

LOVE IS

Love is Feeling You As Me, and Me as You. Your Well-being is My Well-Being.
Love Embraces without Touching, Understands without Speaking, Knows without Seeing.
Your Pain and Joy is My Pain and Joy.  Love Shares All and Cares Selflessly. Unconditionally.
Love is My Responsibility for Your Self as My Self.  In Eternity we may be Separate, yet we are Forever One.

JAZZ TRANSCENDENCE

Transcendence” means “going beyond”, and “self-transcendence” means going beyond a prior form or state of oneself.  Mystical experience is thought of as a particularly advanced state of self-transcendence, in which the sense of a separate self is abandoned.  The Spirit rises beyond the physical universe and perceives the spiritual or aesthetic universe.  When an artist creates, one often enters a state of transcendence in which aesthetic or spiritual creation is achieved without regard to the limitations of the physical universe.  Beauty, in any form, is a manifestation of spiritual creation.
