Supremacy of Beauty 2008.11.11

There is only one beauty in human form: the mirroring or focusing into visibility the heart of God Himself.

In this all beauty is imminent.
Nature shows forms
-tokens of true beauty
humanity easily deviates
but beauty is desired-
sometimes despised from emptiness in pursuit

But beauty, real beauty
can only be found beyond the shortcomings
of this realm we possess.

Lord, we ask for the vision of pure beauty
let our lives be patterned in its likeness
our thoughts exist only in its fulness
our love inseparably intwined in its passion...

Let our hearts be set on You,
our eyes the illumination of your thoughts
our hands the fingerprints of your action...

Cure us of the hypocrisy birthed from the struggle within
consume our every moment
with the reality of your love -
the Supremacy of your beauty...

Let our existence be of you and for you
and nothing left of our strengths or our weaknesses
to harbor the evilness we can create without you.
Bring your presence to this earth
and make us to be your vessels...

Let us to know you with the strength of Enoch,
but take us not away
let us be your breath
your wind which moves the trees,
rolls the dunes
and shapes the mountains...

Let your love rise like the tide
carrying us to the dry places
and leave us not alone when the pools recede
Make your spirit come out from us
and water the land where your tide seldom touches...

Be the world to us
and make us you to the world
And make your Beauty evident
show us your love more strongly than death.
