Beauty is above me and beneath me, it surrounds me and is within me.
Where there is beauty there is joy.

Alas, aware human beings have the insight to acknowledge with appreciation the virtues and savoring qualities that make life worth living.
These include: good, great, knowledge, power, intelligence, wisdom, truth, faith hope, love, peace, enjoyment, humility, compassion, patience, forgiveness, commitment, untiy, health, wealth, popularity, acceptance, friendship, kindness, empathy, intimacy, meaning, prayer, meditation, food shelter, clothing, safety, rest, relaxation, imagination, awareness, sensuality, consciousness, sex, nurturing, soul, spirit, senses, experience, eating, drinking, writing, reading, talking, embracing, working, playing, technology, creativity, discovery, nature, living and life.
These virtues and savoring qualities, separately or together, are superseded by a nobler virtue which along is worthy to be accepted as our human race legacy. Only beauty can rightly claim the preeminent place among all virtues and savoring qualities of living and life. Beauty is beauty par excellence. It is to be embraced and cherished by humans as their human race legacy and experienced as a creative process that is alive and in the making still. Beauty along is the gift that we claim and bequeath to our Source and all creation in perpetuity and eternity.
