beauty

I’d like to share something that happened the day after a Unity meditation on ‘Beauty’.

I went out into the garden and lay down on the grass. I like to do this…I feel connected.
I looked up at the sky. It was blue with big white clouds drifting slowly by.
I noticed what looked like a ribbon of wispy cloud further up from the big clouds. It wasn’t moving….it was coloured, as if a piece had broken off from a rainbow.
I watched it for about 5mins, entranced. Was I the only one to notice it? How many others were looking up at the sky at this moment. The colours started to fade. I felt wonder, gratitude but also sadness that this world which has so many beautiful gifts, is so often taken for granted and so often unseen.
I closed my eyes for a second or two and it was gone.
