I just reread The Beauty and the Beast, and its message resonated with me more deeply than ever. It’s not just a story of romance—it's a powerful reminder that true beauty is found within. In a world that often emphasizes outward appearances, this tale teaches us that love, compassion, and kindness are what truly define a person’s worth.

The Beast, once trapped by his own arrogance and selfishness, is transformed not because of a magical spell alone, but through the power of love and the healing it brings. Beauty, with her open heart and willingness to see beyond the surface, reminds us of the strength that comes from empathy and understanding. She doesn’t fear what others see in the Beast; instead, she looks deeper, recognizing the goodness that lies hidden within him.

This story is a beacon of hope, showing that love has the power to break down the hardest walls, heal the deepest wounds, and change lives. It reminds us that we all have the capacity to grow, to change, and to become better versions of ourselves when we are loved for who we truly are. In a world full of judgment and division, The Beauty and the Beast calls us to look beyond appearances, to embrace love, and to believe in the beauty that lives within each of us.

The beauty of art, & the knowledge of science; any & all of the truly fantastical! Nature in all its majestic glory; known and unknown!

Lost Connections

The cord is cut. "Rejoice!" We cry in unison. No more reliance on a tether to hold us back. "We can connect and communicate anywhere and everywhere!" Really?

I don't know about you but I'm not finding much of depth or substance being communicated of late. We toss our two cents in the social media ring and pray to the digital gods that through their blessed intervention it lands in a coin slot of an audience who will actually notice and care about the subject and substance of inspiration, motivation and positivity we choose to share and, more importantly, the why.

The static beats in our head as we wait, and just as we feel we've connected, the gods that control this game of power and control scream in our ears and eyes that it's time to pony up another two cents if we wish to continue to play in their game.

We've lost our ability to connect and given it over to the gods of trendy commerce and market share control who convince us they know better than we and for our own good they will protect us from ourselves, our thoughts, our beliefs and our ability to communicate freely. How long before we lose our will and desire to continue? The gods know we've already given in. It's their game now and they make the rules.

Listening to Yasmeen Amina Olya. She was popular for a while on YouTube (years ago) then, like all things on the Internet interest died down. All things a Sufi does are Prayer. Therefore, her singing is merely an outward manifestation of it. She is worth returning to. She speaks from the Divine.
