Thoughts: Beauty, through the eyes of some sightless folks….

Thoughts mktdaf May 14, 2014

Dear friends, fellow monks & sister philosophers, family & readers (sorry if I left anyone out!),

One of the cool things about getting to take care of this blog is that I have so many folks who write me & let me know they’re there & what they think, and share their experiences in light of what they see, hear, and experience here.

Three regular readers of Brother Ian are blind – two can’t see anything & one sees light & shapes, kinda, but not detail. I love it that have all dropped me notes as they go over the different postings & listen to the songs & either the computer or a friend reads them things…and they, one way or another, tell me the world is a beautiful place to them.

So, here’s a little video of some folks who can’t see beauty with their eyes, sharing what they perceive beauty to look like, to them.

This one’s for you, Roy & Dan & Elise. Crank the audio & roll.

Love you all –

Brother Ian

Thought for the day…

"I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."
-- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet, 1903
