Beauty matters
The following excerpt comes from a commencement address by David Hicks.
Create something beautiful every day. A poem, a song, a love letter, an arrangement of flowers or a garden, a painting or a stone wall, a bird house or a lace curtain, an invitation or a thank you note. Beauty matters. Don’t assume you know anything about beauty. You probably know much less than you think you do. … Everything beautiful comes from the hand of God and has His signature on it. This is the beauty that speaks the truth. … Don’t put your head on the pillow without asking yourself: What beautiful thing have I offered in thanksgiving to my Creator this day?
Delivered at Westminster Schools, Augusta, Georgia, May 14, 2005.
